Six years after being diagnosed with breast cancer, I revisited my diary and decided to share my experiences.
I reveal how losing my hair turned from tragedy to comedy, how a watercress and potato soup sent emotions soaring, and the way in which my two young daughters played such a huge part in my recovery.
In my own words and images, this is my story; from diagnosis to life after cancer - the complex emotions, the mood swings and the surprises along the way.
This is my recollection of the events and emotions that lined my unique path through breast cancer. I hope that the excerpts, taken from my original diary, are not only enlightening for other cancer sufferers, but that they might throw out a beacon of light to the many families and friends supporting their loved ones through a time of anguish and uncertainty.
