Crazy With Twins

The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!

Getting THE LETTER: My annual cancer test results

So I recently got THE LETTER. The letter I get every year, telling me the results of my annual Thyroglobulin test. This is the test that tells us if I am still cancer free or if my cancer has returned. They also do TSH and free T4 tests to see if I’m on the right […]

Life After Papillary Thyroid Cancer

I thought it was about time I blogged about life after thyroid cancer. I’ve not really blogged much about Thyroid Cancer since I announced I’d been given the all-clear from my consultant back in December 2013. I’m now 3 years cancer free and every December I share the video I made on YouTube about my cancer […]

10 weeks pregnant: The consultant’s verdict on my risk of HELLP Syndrome

I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant, but this is the post I wrote when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I am no longer with (or in contact with) SD, but I wanted to share the whole of my pregnancy journey, so I have left it as written at the time and you can follow my story… I’m […]

I’M ONE YEAR CANCER FREE!

I have spent this weekend celebrating the fact that I have now been CANCER FREE FOR 1 YEAR! I didn’t just want to say it in a blog post though. Many of you know all the ins and outs of my thyroid cancer treatment, but I haven’t blogged much about when I had Leukaemia.  I […]

That first post-cancer check up

My 6 month post-cancer check up with my consultant oncologist got a little bit delayed, due to a bout of depression and a phase in which I kept cancelling my appointments. It ended up being a 10 month post-cancer check up. I dutifully popped to the hospital to get my bloods taken the week before, […]

What does Thyroid Cancer look like?

What does Thyroid Cancer look like? Last year I had Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma – a malignant tumour on my thyroid. I was treated with surgery (Hemithyroidectomy followed by a total thyroidectomy) and Radioactive Iodine Treatment (also known as RAI).  Thyroid Cancer often has few or no symptoms, unless you also have an underlying thyroid disorder, […]

Check your Neck #Scarfies4Thyca Campaign

As many of you know, last year I had Thyroid Cancer, AKA Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month and a new campaign has started called #Scarfies4Thyca . The idea is to take a selfie, wearing a scarf, (selfie + scarf = scarfie) to encourage people to check their necks for abnormal lumps […]

Why do journalists lie?

I’ve been in the press (all forms) quite a lot over the last year. The MAJORITY of the reports I was featured in, were either factually incorrect, I was misquoted or… they completely made up elements of my story! I’ve even had copyrighted photos stolen from me, by journalists, and republished with the newspapers own watermarks! Stories […]

My cancer treatment results!

In November, I went back on the dreaded low iodine diet and was given a low dose of radioactive iodine, in order to have a full body scan. The full body scan was to show whether or not I still have any residual thyroid cells or cancer cells left in my body. There was also […]

Wednesday Words : Geiger Counter

This is a poem I wrote last week, whilst I was radioactive and not allowed near my children, due to receiving radioactive iodine 131 for Thyroid Cancer. The aim of this, was to illuminate any cancer and thyroid cells on a full body scan, to see if my radiotherapy in May 2013 has worked or […]
