Many people see cancer survivors as - "you beat it, you're all good now". Yes, we did...however, for many of us we are also still battling.
For many, the daily battles of our own minds are enough to sometimes bring us to our knees.
Every niggle, every pain, every feeling of energy drain - can trigger thoughts of 'It's back', 'what if it's cancer again' etc etc.
- I feel drained today......it's back.
- That pain in my arm.....must be a tumor.
- I have a headache.......what if it's cancer?

Real, raw, and often asked about…..here is a short version of my story….A few years ago I was asked by Pete Evans, an internationally renowned chef, restauranteur, author, and television presenter, for my story so he could feature it on his Facebook page. Initially, I was shocked and questioned him saying no-one would really be interested. He said it would help others, and so I agreed.
Lucky Pete is a patient man because what happened next was procrastination, excuses, and general avoidance of writing it down. When I eventually did, I found myself becoming physically ill while writing it over the next couple of weeks. My body was reacting to reliving it again.
