Two blogs I'd written many years ago and forgotten about.

I have written 2 blogs, quite a few years ago which might be useful for some.

The first is about my diagnosis and treatment. I re-read it recently and it seems quite positive throughout. Mostly because I didn't write anything on my bad days. booandloo.blogspot.com/

I have also written a blog about hints and tips for people with cancer. In particular I cover the various benefits that you can claim. It also covers some basic guidelines on eating. cancerhints.blogspot.com/ - I will revisit this blog at some point as it may be out of date with regards to benefits.

It is quite an experience to go back to what you were feeling and writing during the treatment isn't it! Blogs do record what was happening at the time and the things that were important to write about (or not write about)

I suspect that being able to look back on a bleak experience, but in a relatively calm state of mind, is a sign of a good recovery. But we do not always get to that state without passage of time, and spending time along the way, at our own pace, looking back and thinking about things, and getting our minds a bit straighter about all that has happened to us, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Not what you're looking for?
