About

Welcome to my blog. As I went through this disease, with my normal activity limited, I began writing in order to help digest the load of information mentally and have a kind of purpose or task to complete aside from hospital appointments. I decided to give an honest and more scientific report of the cancer and share aspects that stood out to me such as cravings and how I came to a decision about volunteering for a clinical trial. Whether you are on the same page or have someone going through the same situation, my aim was to get this off my chest – written therapy as such. So here goes…

I was diagnosed on April Fools day, 2015 – a little repugnant cruelty. I am a 31 year old female from Northern Ireland and a picture of health, I thought – a body fat percentage of 18, I generally eat clean but do love chocolate. I try to workout every day using the heaviest weights I can find and follow Jamie Eason from Bodybuilding.com. I have completed P90X, Insanity and T25. My blood and cells and organs should have been all up to speed!

I have travelled the world for the past four years on cruise ships and independently, all with my partner from New Orleans. I have a healthy amount of craft beer photographs to remind me so on my beer blog, @Beertiful. I also recently got engaged whilst in New Zealand.
