My little girl all grown up at her Prom last week and I’m thankful that I’m here to see this moment. 9.5 years ago Faron was only 7 years old and I was told that I had secondary/metastatic breast cancer. I didn’t know if I’d be alive to see her finish Primary School let alone

Dear Michelle, Please stop using the term “beating cancer” it makes people with incurable cancer (like me) sound like we’ve not tried hard enough. Quit the battle language - the drugs fail patients & CRUK need to invest more £ into better patient led research @METUPUKorg #bccww

A gentle reminder - if you know someone who has completed cancer treatment (wks, months or yrs ago), continue to check in to find out how they are. Many think that everything will 'go back to normal' once treatment has ended. Love, support & a listening ear are still much needed.

Nigella Lawson says she's determined to embrace her age

Others may pretend to be younger, but the British TV cook hasn't been able to tinker with the truth since her 30th birthday party, having deliberately written her age on the invitations.

Having cancer especially having #metaststicbreastcancer that’s gone to my brain doesn’t just affect me - it affects my family too. Nearly 2 yrs since I’ve not been able to drive - no one realizes how isolating that is & I can’t just drop someone off at school in the rain...

Do you remember when women who had a miscarriage or still birth we’re put on maternity units? Do you think that’s cruel? So is 🔔 in earshot of those with incurable cancer having to ENDURE listening to 🔔 that someone has put up who doesn’t attend any more! 🤷🏼‍♀️ @thismorning

Should we ban the bell-ringing ceremonies which celebrate the end of cancer treatment? Jane Cubbin’s son was able to ring the bell and said it gave him great hope, but Jo Taylor, a cancer patient herself, thinks the bell is 'cruel and divisive'.

Not for the first time in my life, I must admit I'm disappointed with politicians. A handful are making a lot of noise about the disruption to cancer services and other illnesses and a huge thanks to them, but it's not enough. I don't understand why not. Very frustrating.
