All posts by Kate. 54 years old, living with my husband, step daughters, dog and cat in Auckland, New Zealand, recently diagnosed with gynaelogical cancer. On the other side. February 4, 2017. I believe I had the best possible care right through my treatment – I am so grateful for the skill and care of the surgeon, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and nurses who treated me. I am here today because of them. My body and I. October 22, 2016. To ‘lie down’ in the face of cancer? Hair today …. Losing m...

Monthly Archives: September 2016. Hair today …. September 2, 2016. Losing my hair has been far more upsetting than I had thought. It’s taken me about a week to be able to look myself in the mirror without flinching, and about the same time to figure out why I have been so upset by it. I think there a few factors at play.

Hair today …. September 2, 2016. Losing my hair has been far more upsetting than I had thought. It’s taken me about a week to be able to look myself in the mirror without flinching, and about the same time to figure out why I have been so upset by it. I think there a few factors at play. As well as looking sicker, I undoubtedly look older. I worry about whether my husband will still find me attractive when he is waking up in the morning next to a bald woman. They say love is blind, but bald? My body and I.

What not to eat | The Uninvited Guest

What not to eat. June 18, 2016. Being diagnosed with cancer has changed how I think about almost every facet of my life. It’s a bit like the old fashioned kaleidoscope I had as a kid – one twist and all the pieces fall into a completely new pattern. So it has been with me and food over the last few weeks. This all came to a head for me, so to speak, with the green smoothie incident. 8220;and with the gentlest of pushes, the world fell out of my arse’. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Monthly Archives: July 2016. July 26, 2016. I didn’t want to sleep even though I had no energy, I didn’t want to read, listen, watch, talk. I didn’t want to be alone, but I didn’t want company. I didn’t want to do anything, but I didn’t want to do nothing. What if I am doing things that I should not be doing? How dangerous is that glass of wine? What damage might that bite of cheesecake do? Should I be taking more exercise or taking it easy? Have I got unresolved emotional issues that are hurting me?

My body and I. October 22, 2016. The second week in November is going to be a big one for me. I will get the results of my post treatment scan, and now I will also get the result of a biopsy that my GP has performed on a suspect mole. To ‘lie down’ in the face of cancer? As for my scan and biopsy, I feel confident that both will be okay, but there is the tiniest grain of uncertainty. Rather than ignore it, or attempt to squash it, or feed it, I am trying to just accept it and let it be. Hair today ….

May 31, 2016. I heard this Rumi poem during a meditation retreat I attended about 10 years ago, and have loved it ever since:. This human being is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honourably. The dark shame, the thought, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. But it is a mindfuck. The knock at the door. May 31, 2016 at 8:57 pm. June ...
