It is H&N cancer awareness week in Australia and during my dance with cancer I was asked if I would write 400 words or less about my journey. So I did. It was published this week.

I shall post later about the TV series that is under negotiation. I wonder who I can find as actors???

An enjoyable read, It must have been really weird for you to be on the other side for a change...and medical professionals are usually by far the worst to nurse  ;) or so I have heard.

Just possibly some truth there. I think they did end up putting up a sign outside my door "Beware of the B." I think it referred to bacteria or something like that :laugh:

Cindy.... "I have a future and I have had a look at death.  I accept both and I fear neither but for now life calls me and I shall embrace it."


Cindy!

You have journeyed far and arrived at a good place!!! ... Onward we go brave sister!!!

With Love and Respect,

Ashley :)

"The individual has always had to struggle from being overwhelmed by the tribe... But, no price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself" ... Rudyard Kipling 🌸

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸
