23.01.2022 Not a good day, good week, good month or even good year. #iamsotiredofthis #fuckcancer ... #fuckbreastcancer #breakingpoint #sooverit See more

23.01.2022 The ocean is my happy place. If it can't be a beach somewhere in Malta let it be the beach of my childhood. Let me bring my girls here and delight in watching them Wade out while the tide is out squealing with joy as they discover shells that still contain their creatures within and fish swimming at their feet. Let me watch them wade out knowing they're safe with their Daddy beside them. ... Let me feel the cool water under my feet and listen to the sound of the ocean. There's nothing particularly special about today...its just an ordinary sunny day. But that's the simple beautiful perfection of it. Happy Saturday! #beachweather #beach #altonabeach #aprilinmelbourne #makingmemories #triplenegativebreastcancerrecovery #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancerwarriors #mumsofmelbourne #realmumsofmelbourne #mumsofaustralia #instamom

22.01.2022 It is 12am and I can already tell this is going to be another night where sleep eludes me. I'm not sure which is worse, nights like this or like the last two where I wake in a sweat trying to piece together the fragments of my twisted dreams. I have spend the last hour unfollowing the very groups on Facebook designed to help, because the twisted thing about all of this is the rabbitholes that they lead you down that hinder. Unfollowing them I assure you is not counter produ...Continue reading

21.01.2022 When you're such a frequent flyer you get your own parking pass in the staff carpark. Seriously grateful though as otherwise parking would cost a small fortune...why do hospitals charge so much for parking? Seriously they have a captive clientele it's not like the people going to hospital or visiting people have another option. Anyway I digress....there are things about radiotherapy that confuse and perplex me. ... I'm still not entirely sure how it works on a cellular level except that apparently it kills fast growing cells...which is what cancerous cells are. I am not sure why I need to wear a gown over my jeans when it's removed anyway...why not just ask me to remove my top and save me the entire process of needing to store and change into a hospital gown if I can still wear underwear and my jeans under it. Why make the process 15 minutes longer than it needs to be? Also...there needs to be a better option on the iPad in front of my face than 'Radiation Enabled' in big red letters and this symbol every time I breathe in because....it's seriously triggering and makes me feel like I'm in a giant microwave oven for 20 minutes a day. Finally...why book my nurse appointment to put on the protective Mepitel Film on after my radiotherapy appointment...surely beforehand would be more logical right? Anyway...nothing like driving to and from hospital daily to lie completely still on a narrow metal bench while a scary machine whirs around you each day to put you in a wonderful mood. This is the reality because even though whilst recovering we may look fine. Or sound fine. Or say we are fine most people have no idea and in truth...because the treatment is long, and the recovery is longer....friends and family tend to drop off a little. I have lost both. It hurts. It hurts when I am the one who has to reach out so I've stopped reaching out. I've built up the walls around me again. I get it. It's not easy being around us. We are not always sunshine, roses and witty sarcastic musings. We are equally infuriating, whiny, moody, aggitated, emotional and heaven forbid maybe a little selfish. But maybe, just maybe we have earned that right a little bit.

18.01.2022 So apparently we are supposed to take this one day at a time...this was my day... How was yours? I am so over it. I don't have anything left. I have nothing in the tank. It's empty and no-one absolutely no-one unless you've been stuck with all those needles, sat through all those tests and proceedures, lost you hair, your breasts, your sense of self and are being cooked from the inside out has any idea what this is like or why I don't want to smile, see the bright side or ju...st get on with it. I am so angry at the world right now. #tnbc #tnbctreatment #cancertreatment #cancerradiotherapy #breastcancertreatment #petermac #petermaccallumcancercentre #radiotherapyandoncology #cancerlife #breastcancerunder40

02.01.2022 I love visiting the post office after a long weekend! My @perfectpotion order arrived. I fell in love with the chakra essential oil after smelling it and feeling calm in store in Melbourne but was in a rush to an appointment and had no time to explore the range. So I decided to take the plunge and grab a few items online which will hopefully help me get through radiotherapy tomorrow and over the next couple of weeks with a clear and positive frame of mind. Isn't the packagi...ng gorgeous...I couldn't wait...just misted some in the car on the way to the optometrist this morning. #chakrabalancing #perfectpotion #needcalm #radiotherapy #triplenegativebreastcancerrecovery #triplenegativebreastcancer #tnbcrecovery #tnbcmummy #breastcancermummy #breastcancerawareness
