Weekly Round-Up

This week I enjoyed reading both Nancy and Beth‘s posts on the pivotal role of stories in our lives. I also enjoyed sharing the stories of why both writers pivoted their blogs to Substack in this article I wrote for the Patient Empowerment Network.

Sue shares a review of a new book on her blog The Wisdom of Nurses – the book she wishes she had to hand when she was training to be a nurse.

Audrey reflects on the use of the word “terminal” in relation to her cancer and how she is focused on the journey of living not dying with cancer.

Abigail writes about the struggle with fatigue she is experiencing on treatment and how she is addressing it.

A hike restores Becky physically and emotionally.

As Connie prepares for her next solo journey she is challenging herself to pack light both in the literal and metaphorical sense of the word.

Barbara‘s latest post touches on the topic of forgiveness and the one thing she can never forgive.

Finally this week, if you find yourself in a place of struggle today, I encourage you to read Carolyn‘s post on learning to go on, and these practical tips on the power of controlled breathing on the Shine Cancer Support blog.

Until next week,

Yours with much love always
