@dvbishop.com just finished Carnival of lies and absolutely loved it! Such great characters (I would love to see this series on the big screen). I think it’s my favourite Cesare Aldo book 😊

As if cancer itself wasn’t bad enough, it also creates a barrier between you and your loved ones. They’ll struggle to understand. They want to help but they’ve got their own feelings to process. So they’ll inevitably be clumsy with the words they use.

A year ago today I had my first appointment with oncology, I only had a 50% chance of even having the surgery I needed, let alone how I would respond to chemo. Yesterday I was told that I’m still cancer free 1 yr on, yes there’s a high chance of recurrence but today I’m taking the win 🥇

It can be hard for loved ones to find the right words with cancer. But they need to try.
At the same time, those going through cancer need to exercise patience and generosity of spirit when people trying to support them inevitably get it wrong.

CNN ‘rats bigger than cats’
BBC ‘they’re the size of small kittens’
Personally I don’t care how big they are, I don’t want them near me

There’s a guy on the cancer bus who has ‘extra long eyelashes’ as a side effect of treatment!! If someone could figure out how to isolate that effect they’d make a fortune #cancersky
