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.

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.

  2. I got discharged from my oncologist (forever, I hope)
  3. My three-year MRI scan came back clear
