We have #metastaticbreastcancer
Our motto is: we are dying but not right now!
We have difficult conversations, we find each other funny. What’s not to like?!

Morning cancer friends 👋
Prepping for our next podcast episode: cancer & exercise
Exercise is good for everybody (we know that 🙄). So our focus is on the multiple excuses and our gradual physical build up since getting ill (Rocky theme, anyone?)

New #cancer line of treatment,
extra checks rightly made = 90 minutes before the we got down to business.
Sent this photo to my husband as this was just about the time we were supposed to sit down for his birthday lunch
All the best laid plans and that…

Meet-up to work out the details of recording our next podcast online, by doing a trial run (topic; exercise and cancer 🤫)
Video recording was invented in the 90s yet the process feel like a temperamental beast we’re yet to master 😆😂

We’re dying, but not right now.
So we keep going, and we keep enjoying life.
On this picture we’re celebrating Mand’s birthday (and her fancy new dress, which I made for her).

After an afternoon rest (@cancerfatigue can do one!) I’ve been reflecting on Kevin’s talk today. @storiescancerhope.bsky.social is life affirming and a cancer community hug, all in one.
Podcast episode completed (recorded with Kevin) and ready for editing. Watch this space…

No (additional) filter, no post editing, just a big fat coincidence…
Both of us were taken unawares during a garden party for #macmillancoffeemorning. I was caught up in a bubble, Mand was caught mid chew 😆

We used to be cool… now we’re even COOLER (😆).
We took part in an attempt at breaking the record for number of participants who completed ‘chair based exercise’ over a 30 minute period.
(Record was broken in case you wonder🏅)

‘Nook with a view’
Mand and I went wild and did a podcast recording from her burial nook. Topic (you might guess); death admin with a focus on cremated remains plots and forest burials. The recording is being edited, I’ll post the link when it’s done.
