#throwbackthursday – a year ago tomorrow I had finished 4 EC chemos and started chemo 1/12 Taxol ….yesterday I finished 7/8 Xeloda… this is the very final countdown 🎉 Due to my right hand being bandaged, there won’t be long posts for a while, but a few more stories on Instagram 😉

London, my love, thanks for bringing back all these wonderful memories …. the smell of the tube, the poppy vendors, brick buildings, cider, pub food, the busy and the calm, catching up with Muriel and seeing Rob after probably more than 15 years!

It was Secondary Breastcancer (SBC) Day this month and there is the need for a post on this subject, as there seems to be confusion and misconception …. what is that? It simply means that the cancer spread to other parts of the body and is also known as metastatic breast cancer (MBC)…. in other …
