Send us Fan MailI’ve taken a few days to process what I was told at my hospital appointment on 11 September.I now know that I have grade three, stage two, HER2-positive breast cancer. The tumour is around three centimetres, and thankfully the lymph node they were concerned about is not affected.Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of scans, tests, appointments and difficult conversations.And I’ve had to face the fact that the treatment ahead of me is going to be a long road.At first, I felt as though I was standing at the bottom of a mountain I wasn’t even sure I wanted to climb.But I’ve had a few days to process it.And now I’m looking at that mountain and thinking: right. I’m going to bloody climb it.In this personal episode, I talk honestly about the fear, the exhaustion, the thoughts that try to run away with me — and why I’m refusing to take my thoughts from that mucky bucket.Which, incidentally, is extremely Yorkshire.Possibly Shakespearean.If you’re facing your own mountain at the moment, I want you to know that I’m not standing on the sidelines telling you how to do this.I’m walking the flaming path too. You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you. Take your power back today, one thought at a time.
