Beating Bowel Cancer Patient Day 2013

This Saturday I went to London to meet up with my BBC pals and also to get an award for the work I do as a volunteer on their forum.


I plan to post some photos

I didn't take many myself so I will have to pinch them ..



This is me and Jane .. Jane blogs here:

Diagnosed with stage IV bowel cancer 8th August 2012 with tumours in liver and lungs. Staying positive as I have so much to live for. Three amazing kids (12, 7 and 2.5) and a lovely husband. Scared a lot of the time but coping. Started chemo plus cetuximab on the 31st August - 4 days after my 42 birthday.

So i became 50 this year and since i was 44 i have been battling with bowel cancer. I am not winning and now have mets on the lungs and one has just made itself known in the pelvis. It at least is taking it's time with me and i hope to be around a good while longer. I have three lovely boys who i am very proud of, and the one thing that keeps me going and fighting is the thought of leaving them without me far too early.

It makes me so sad to see these two lovely women with young families ... so sad and yet they are both so determined and feisty it was a joy to meet them ...
