My gorgeous daughter, Laiken & me. Oblivious
to breast cancer; I was diagnosed on 1st Feb 2011, 2 weeks
after this photo was taken.

Laiken was a snowflake (NOT a star!) in 
her nativity play this week! (Dec. 2011)

A recent pic of me - Nov 2011.

My lovely blogging friend Catriona who ran walked a
half marathon in Glasgow in September, raising
around £2000 for Cancer Research UK.

Catriona is also a cancer survivor, I was
privileged to be one of the names on her back sign.

Some days I just wanna kick ass!

An organisation close to my heart, Breast Cancer Care.

Despite anti-hormone therapy,
I couldn't quite grow a moustache for Movember
.......so this is my contribution!!

Another organisation that has supported me. Macmillan.

My daughter the baker, Laiken Jade. xx

'Lovely' cakes made for me! xx

Loads of cards, gifts, flowers.....from my fab friends!
Thank you all!! xx

The first bouquet I received from my friend Cerys.
I loved these beautiful, bright flowers,
they really brought some sunshine into my lounge. xx

The result of the 'Oncotype DX' test - a clinical trial I took part in to
help me to decide whether or not I was having
chemo. I decided not to have chemo based on this result.

A really good night but I was home quite early!

Craig-y-Nos Country Park. One of my old haunts
whilst living in the Swansea Valley. I love this place. xx

On a bad day, I feel like Frankenstein's Bride.....

Trying so hard to keep this as my mantra.

Keep checking those breasts ladies! (& men too!) There's a link
 at the bottom of my 'Home' page which  explains how
to do a breast, self examination; have a look at it!! It's IMPORTANT!!

Life at a Snail's pace......some days I just can't go any faster!

Cerys ran the Race for Life this year & I was one
of the people she was thinking of when she wore
this back sign. Thanks for all of the support Cez. xx

And her son Evan, (my 4 year old daughter's
boyfriend!), ran the race too!! xx

If only it would have been as simple as clicking my
heels together to get back to Liverpool!
