This video blog is an ongoing narrative of my approach, attitude and experience of being diagnosed with two type of cancer. I started posting these blogs to my facebook page a few weeks before I was first diagnosed in 2017. I knew something was up. I wasn't living in a body (or in a life) that I wanted.
So much has changed since those early days and I still continue to post these blogs because they allow me to feel the qualities of expression, vulnerability and connection throughout my ongoing dance with cancer; and these are the valuable qualities of creativity.

Sing & laugh through cancer...
September, 2017
This song was written by Chloe Twohig, my seriously awesome friend who performed at a Backyard Benefit to help raise funds for my living expenses whilst going through cancer. She always makes me laugh whilst holding my hand.
Backyard Benefit is an inspiring way to crowd-fund for a friend in need. All you need is a backyard, a band & an event listing on the fb page to show someone they are worth gathering for.

This cancer needs a KING hit!
January 2018
It was recently explained to me that battling cancer is like being in the boxing ring with a super villain. You are there with your boxing gloves on, your fists are held high and you are jabbing punches left and right. Your opponent however is much bigger than you and never goes to sleep.
This fight with cancer is keeping me on my toes 24/7 and after 4 months of skipping around the boxing ring, I'm getting exhausted. The tumour in my breast is stagnant. Regular scans show that it occasionally increases or reduces in size. But that's not enough. It's time for a change of tactic.
I know I will only win this fight if I come up with some big 'king hits'. Today, I decided my king hits would be surgery.
