Thank you all so much for the wonderful, supportive and oh so generous comments which have come my way since my article was published in The Guardian yesterday.
I am so very touched by everyone's care and concern. xxx
About Me
- Kate
- I'm a mother with three kids under eight whose demands, squabbles and general existence take up unimaginable swathes of time. I've also secretly always fancied myself as a bit of a writer - though not with much evidence to show for it - so maybe writing this will prod me in the right direction. We'll see.

I have never managed to write down my own Cancer story and wonder if it has helped you feel freer by doing so. I too had NHL, treated with a stem-cell transplant, administered after my initial 8 rounds of chemo given mostly in Outpatients had proved in vain. I was 37, our daughter just 3 months, when we had the diagnosis. My tumour was wrapped around my bowels and I looked 7 months pregnant again, which confused quite a few people ....and made me feel like a freak. I was admitted for the first chemo the day after biopsy results. An amazing 4 years nearly since treatment ended and it still feels raw and lonely at times. The lumbar punctures / 92-hour marathon chemo sessions endured alone have left me in a permanent state of shock. Perhaps not helped by my not returning to work yet (I have to find a job - I used to teach French). I am sure you will be sent many stories like this ... the downside to your publishing your own maybe ... suffice to say I read it with huge interest and admiration. I am not wallowing in what has happened to me and enjoy new hobbies these days to help stay positive. Time to move on ...
Absolutely! Bravo to you. Moving on is the way forward (ha ha!)
I had Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 33 in 1995 when my youngest child was 18 months old. Today I am well. To read your article in the Guardian was so touching. Your comments about the early menopause I absolutely identified with that.People are so pleased that you survive and live that there is no understanding of the impact of the side effects of the treatment.My husband really had no idea until he read your article. So thankyou for being able to communicate that so well.
