It's been two weeks since Single Bald Female came out in paperback, and two weeks since I came out of surgery. I don't know where that time has gone – it's been a total blur of drowsiness, sickness and pain, and I'm in the process of writing it all down before I forget.

I LOVE the idea of a posh tea ceremony to honour bereaved families after their loved ones have died. I talked to the amazing @drkathrynmannix about Food and Death and the rituals that exist around celebrating life through food in different cultures.

I am obsessed with my scars. Aside from this one on my chest, there's another the same size across my back. I love having something physical to show for everything my body and mind have been through. Who needs tattoos, eh? Also I'll be wearing Mark's shirts for the foreseeable. ✨

I thought it would be good to explain what surgery I've just had, and why. In 2012 I had breast cancer, and in 2022 it spread from the breast to the top of my sternum bone (I no longer have cancer in my breasts). I started three sets of drugs last July (Zoladex, Letrozole and Ribociclib) to shrink the tumour. By October the cancer had almost completely gone, and by January it had gone.

This is a great idea. I like the idea of looking forward with optimism and visualizing what we want. I’m going to give it a try myself 🙂 ~Catherine
