Jaws!

So after the first day I broke my tooth. I have been assured that it had nothing to do with the hyperbaric chamber but I certainly do know that I found myself in the dentist's chair that day having root canal treatment. What a day!

The Abyss

Where to begin? Well, about 4 and a half years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. It jumped up and bit me and so I bit back. I was devastated and my loved ones were devastated and then, between me, my husband, family, friends, doctors, nurses and homeopath, we fought hard and we won. 


In truth, I'm not going to talk about the cancer much. I could be droll at this point and rip off one of my heroes and call it "It's not about the cancer" (in fact, one of my best survivorship moments came watching Lance Armstrong compete in the Tour de France last year with my husband, who is an avid cycle fan, at my side), but I won't. And with 1 in 3 of us now being affected by cancer, it gets a fair amount of attention and a bunch of people do amazing work both in terms of treating it and saving lives but also the patient groups and charities such as Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust who perform vital work supporting patients.


What I'm going to talk about is what happened to me after that life saving treatment.

Deep

More to come when I jump into the deep...
