Chasing Lobsters-Blog 16. Cancer and pets.
I know it’s been a while since my last blog. That’s partly because I have been dealing with ongoing medical issues with my breast cancer.

Chasing Lobsters – Blog 15. So what is Cancer Fatigue?
Cancer fatigue is my absolute nemesis. I actually didn’t know about cancer fatigue at all until I started looking into it this year.

Chasing Lobsters – Blog 3. Baby steps.
Today’s blog is really about what happened to me in hospital. I think my story is relevant in that it supports what I feel about cancer. Each person has a very different adventure from diagnosis. Mine certainly started with a bang! There is nothing good about waking up in ICU and when I say baby…

Chasing Lobsters – Blog 2. So What Started My Cancer Adventure?
Ok, so if you have read my first post you will know I’ve been through a bit of a cancer ordeal in the last two and a half years. Before we get into the ‘things’ they don’t tell you’ and other handy tips’, I feel I’d best let you know a bit more about myself…
