Thanks for this, Tess. I'm at the beginning of my treatment, three chemos in, and it's lovely to read from someone embracing the moment after it's finished. Hooray for life!
Hi Kate - lovely to meet you here. And thank you for subscribing. It means a lot to me and lifted my morning. I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through but yes, hooray for life indeed! My breast cancer ‘journey’ has brought so many positives - infact I have just got home after spending much of the day with my new friends, fellow volunteers from the charity Restore - we’ve been baring our boobs and bodies at St Thomas’s hospital showing women awaiting mastectomies what the different reconstruction options and results look like in real life. The feedback is always so positive. It feels such a worthwhile thing to be doing and I’ve made new friends from it. Win win. Looking forward to following you here and sending you strength and positivity from my little corner of South East London.
Thank you for sharing your journey, Tess. It's not easy to write about such things. There are so many ways we can find to love ourselves, shift perspective and engage more in community. Our health is everything! 😘

Love this! ❤️
Inspiring writing as ever, lovely Tess. X
A swim with Wim was a definite win 😀 and you’ve tempted me to try the cold shower ritual, I’ll report back! x
I am a HUGE fan of cold showers now. Always start my day with one by turning down the temp for a short sharp burst. Invigorating! xx
