I still feel like I am recovering from October, with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and trying to bring more awareness to Secondary Breast Cancer than just one day in the year through (appearing in the Daily Mail and) getting my walking average up to 3.1km average for the month - surprisingly hard considering I look back pre-illness to cycling 12 miles a day to work, walking all over a massive building, then going to the…

So, nearly another week in cancerland has passed... and I'm on hold to an app 'Push Doctor' to talk to a GP about indigestion and sleeping tablets - I'm in position 5, and not moved yet in the 5 mins been on hold - but this is fine - I have a feedback loop, and might as well get updating this..
