It's good to know that some of these feelings are recognised, as normally we struggle with them in isolation.

Thanks for posting this up Isadora. I enjoyed reading it.

Oh dear, you've just reminded me I'm meant to be reviewing Memoirs of a Debulked Woman. It's rare I put down a book after 2 pages. I couldn't bear Susan Gubar's Madwoman in the Attic and have found Memoirs equally indigestible.

What is fantastic though is that other women are inspired and enlightened by her. If you enjoyed this piece do read her other works.

Hi Annie

I have read a little more of Memoirs. Like this article, it is very well written but I found it too depressing. Although, like Susan Gubar, I always want to know everything I also think it is important to be kind to our minds and try to avoid torturing ourselves.

PS. Thank you very much for your post about complementary therapies...it has given me plenty to discuss with my oncologist next time we meet.

Wow I am sure most of us can relate to this article... so full of truthiness I think ...thank you for posting love x G x
