With emergency scan results in, hope and denial were no longer an option. The cancer was progressing again, and fast. Chemo ordered, Mum and Dad's flights booked, ready to be plunged back into cancer land, just in time for me to turn 36 🎉 Here we go again thecancerchronicles.blog/2023/12/04/and…

As always, my saviours seem to swoop in to save me just when things seem to start feeling scary. The wonderful people in my life, and those I meet along the way, are such bright lights in the darkness. And I have no idea how I would get by without them. thecancerchronicles.blog/2023/12/17/sav…

On the day my world went dark, I found out that all the footage of my album launch party was lost. Luckily we'd made a clip using the footage, to my song ‘Fading’, which survived. One year on from this iconic night, I'm excited to share it with you. tinyurl.com/y9t9wrfy

Yes another update of my chaotic stay in hospital. Slowly getting through it but my goodness, did they give me a lot of content... thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/01/08/foo…

A whole week had gone by in hospital, & yet I still hadn’t been visited by anyone from my medical team. There had been no explanations for my sudden blindness, no information, no support. So with a little help from my friends, I went chasing some answers. tinyurl.com/wmyu9b2x

Finally, after a week and a half in hospital, the end was nigh! I was putting a plan in motion to escape back to the safety of my own little flat. Oh and yes, I got a stick, but you’ll never guess from where… tinyurl.com/33m2j236

I am v behind with updates, this one being about returning home from hospital (Nov), and going to my Ophthalmology follow up (Dec). But between me touch typing and Mum editing and posting, I think we're doing all right. So here it is! tinyurl.com/5b8sp4sa

And so it was back into chemo. My third regime since 2017, my third set of toxic chemicals that were hopefully helping me quicker than they were killing me.. thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/03/11/her…

~PAPERBACK WRITER~ I am officially a published author. My novel, Rebel Rebel by Jen Eve Taylor is fiction, NOT autobiographical, NOT a cancer memoir. Read the blurb & grab a copy - link in my latest blog post. Thanks for reading - it means the world to me. tinyurl.com/s9k85czc

On Christmas night, at about 3am, a huge hunk of plastic fell out of my face ond onto my pillow... If that doesn't make you want to read ahead, I don't know what will! thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/05/10/the…

Almost as quickly as the chemo started, the cancer gods stepped in to shake shit up... thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/04/04/fro…

Another day, another mask fitting... Back in Feb '24 Clarence and I tottled off to our second time of mask fitting, ahead of radiotherapy, hoping it would all go smoothly. But the medical gods had other plans... thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/05/25/goo…

With the trauma of mask fitting still fresh in my mind, we were off into the next stage. Radiotherapy 2.0 - start your engines! thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/06/03/dej…

Ok, so, it's February, and I'm heading into my 6 weeks of radiotherapy. Lots of weird and wonderful appointments to attend (and occasionally dodge) and an appearance from a new character: the cupboard of mysteries. thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/06/14/all…

In every basement there are always angels... Or at least there are in the radiotherapy basement at UCLH. And you can meet them all in my latest blog post thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/06/17/the…

The 2 different states of joy and relief, and absolute utter exhaustion, both felt very real upon finally finishing the 6 weeks of radiotherapy. But finish it, I did! The full wrap up in my latest blog post. thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/06/20/and…

As if there wasn’t enough to contend with already, the hole in my face started bleeding. At first sporadically, then more regularly, and one night, it just didn’t stop… thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/07/02/the…

What happens when silence decides to join the Constant Darkness? Well, things really start to feel a bit scary. Audioligy to the rescue! thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/07/15/the…

BINGO! Cancer Bingo strikes again, though I can’t say this is a particularly fun game. And it all started with a hastily organised clinic appointment... thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/07/26/the…

On Sunday 17th November 2024 at around 5:30am, our brilliant Jen passed away in hospital. Jen always had the right words, and at the moment we don't, but there are some on her beloved blog 'The Cancer Chronicles' thecancerchronicles.blog/2024/11/19/our…
