“This Might Surprise You: A Breast Cancer Story” is out now.

It’s a graphic memoir: comics can do things that no other medium can. I’ve tried to be as honest as possible while also making you laugh. I’ll break your heart while giving you a hug.

Buy it here:

What I LOVED about this book was how it visually captured the weirdness of receiving a diagnosis, going through treatment, and then the absolutely HUGE wave of not-really-managed emotions you realise is inches from breaking over you after you've 'done the hard stuff'. Thanks @hayleygullen.com ❤️

I feel so often that I’m in the brace position. I’ve dealt with calamity before, as well as countless small things going wrong, so inevitably some more stress will be along again soon.

Just like Ozzy, my story includes taking lots of drugs… just for different reasons.
It was nice to see SIGNED COPIES of This Might Surprise You by our unstoppable friend/Colossive Cartographer @hayleygullen.com in @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social today - sandwiched nicely between Ozzy and Cat, as you can see.

Can't get to Sydenham? Buy it here instead: linktr.ee/ThisMightSur...

These things are taboo because they seem big and scary. They are. But illness and death are normal parts of life. We SHOULD talk about them. And maybe then we could have better policy. I hope my book will prompt some of these conversations.

During cancer treatment I had to get used to the idea that there were often few certainties. Not many straightforward answers.
