9th Faslodex injection all done. 5ml in each bum cheek to stop my ER+ breast cancer coming back a third time. It’s the one treatment I never wanted but the nurses are great at giving it and it’s not as sore as I thought it would be.

Great article in Women's Running UK with contribution from Dr Liz O'Riordan.
Running has helped immensely since my diagnosis & I’m lucky to now be part of a local running group for those affected by cancer as they “get it” when someone talks about it.

Late night musings - how do you cope when there’s so much to do but there’s only one of you not three of you and the cancer drugs you’re on for life mean there’s really only half of you?

People in the UK are experiencing huge gaps and differences in their cancer care, simply because of who they are or where they live.

This has to change.

If you’re worried about any signs or symptoms, please get in touch with your GP as soon as possible.

I do not like feeling poorly. Hoping this head cold doesn't go to my chest - my immune system isn't great thanks to Palbociclib

Some days I just miss Mum

Excellent paper just published shows that there is more to treating fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) than meets the eye with standard therapies like CBT. Not only can they be ineffective but unpleasant for cancer survivors #cancer #oncology #fear #breastcancer #therapy
