Washed up......

It has taken all my strength and more to navigate my way back to the shore. But somewhat miraculously, I have been tossed back, emerging through a heaving, tumultuous tsunami of loss, grief, pain, despair and fear.

I am raw, shattered and completely exhausted. But no matter how broken I feel right now, I am still here.

The cancer that silently invaded my body and stealthily stole away my life piece-by-piece is now gone. Blasted away by a brutal regime of chemotherapy coupled with life giving surgery.

Daily radiotherapy will be the final step in a few weeks time to mop up anything lurking unseen below the surface.

Then I will breathe again, begin to heal and start over…….
