“This Might Surprise You: A Breast Cancer Story” is out now.

It’s a graphic memoir: comics can do things that no other medium can. I’ve tried to be as honest as possible while also making you laugh. I’ll break your heart while giving you a hug.

Super weird to see the Whitgift Centre in Croydon in the new Taylor Swift video.

I live just a few miles from there. Clearly, south London is the centre of international culture.

If cancer could be cured by words alone, it wouldn’t be such an awful disease.

When creating my book it’s fair to say I was a little bit anxious about how much of myself I was laying bare to the world. If you’ve read the book, you’ll know what I mean.

We don’t talk enough about bureaucratic cruelty. No-one intends for the system to be cruel. But, as a young cancer survivor, I know that cruelty is often the outcome.

The systems underpinning the NHS janky and bolted together. We mustn’t let a misplaced sense of romance impede real improvements.

I wrote about my process of discovering that the more I write and draw, the more ideas I have for more writing and drawing. And they all build on top of each other like compound interest.

I hope some of you find this helpful!
