An anniversary

A year-ago today I was diagnosed with cancer.

After having 21 centimeters of my colon removed, undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy and navigating drug induced menopause my cancer is now in remission. My Cancer? In remission? There aren’t many diseases people take ownership of, or from which you are never truly cured. This is not where I expected to find myself but hey, it isn’t all doom and gloom.

Cancer is a contradiction and the fear it brings casts darkness yet also shines light on life’s fleeting moments.

Welcome to my blog. This is the first postcard I am sending back from the Kingdom of the unwell. I hope it in some way helps and enlightens.

Love, Kerry Doyle xx
