As I’m about to complete my 9th certification with @thehealthsciencesacademy
and embark on my 10th, I’m reviewing how much I’ve learnt so far, how far I’ve come and excited for the next steps!

🌸 8th October 2025 – I had surgery to remove my breast cancer.

🌸 8th October 2026 – Exactly one year later, I’m standing beneath the sacred healing waters of Bali. 🙏💦

What a difference a year makes! ❤️

Today has been such a special, symbolic day for me.

I experienced the traditional Balinese Melukat water purification ceremony at the beautiful Tirta Empul Temple.

A sacred ritual believed to cleanse negative energy, release emotional burdens and welcome spiritual renewal.

And that’s exactly how I felt afterwards… refreshed, uplifted and ready to embrace this next chapter of my life. 🌿

We also visited a traditional Balinese tea and spice plantation, where I discovered the beautiful mangosteen fruit and sampled mangosteen tea.

Traditionally valued for its wellness properties and antioxidant compounds, mangosteen has also attracted interest for its potential anti-cancer properties, although these haven’t been proven in humans.

And yes, I bought some to bring home! 🍵❤️

Not because I believe a cup of tea can cure cancer, but because I believe in the power of a positive mindset, the mind-body connection and the meaning we give to our healing rituals.

For me, it’s another little symbol of hope, health and new beginnings. 🌸

A year ago, I was lying on an operating table, placing my trust in medical science to remove my cancer. Today, I’m embracing the spiritual and emotional side of my recovery, surrounded by nature and the beauty of Bali.

And I believe there’s room for both science and spirituality on this journey.

I’m not the same woman I was a year ago. Cancer has changed me in so many ways, but it has also taught me to appreciate life, live more authentically and embrace the moments that truly matter.

Today wasn’t just about looking back at how far I’ve come. It was about celebrating life and everything that still lies ahead. ❤️

Relax ~ Restore ~ Reset. 🌸

Here’s to healing, new beginnings and becoming More Alive Than Before. ❤️

🐕‍🦺Sometimes recovery comes in ways you don’t expect. 🌱 🐾

For me, one of those ways has been Stella🐕‍🦺

Since she came into our lives, she’s given me a reason to get outside every day walking through parks, woodlands and around lakes, breathing in the fresh air, noticing the seasons and reconnecting with nature.

After everything my body has been through, those simple walks have become so much more than exercise. They’re time to clear my head, slow down, be present and appreciate being here.

Stella doesn’t know anything about cancer, treatment or recovery. She just knows it’s time for another adventure.

And perhaps that’s exactly what I’ve needed, a little four-legged reminder to keep getting outside, keep exploring and keep living.

Another small part of becoming More Alive Than Before. 💕

What a Friday.
💉Today started early morning at Velindre, with over two hours of training on managing adrenal insufficiency, learning how to give myself an emergency injection. I hadn’t realized how serious it all is, or how much there was to take in. But I’m learning and I’m adapting.

🌻Then the day shifted completely. It’s four years this week since we lost my beautiful mum, so Holly, Emmy and I took flowers to her grave. Watching my granddaughter place flowers for her great-grandmother she never met was bittersweet.

🍲After that, we had a lovely lunch together in Whitchurch. Three generations making memories. Today held hospital appointments, grief, family, errands, and love.

So many emotions in one day. 💕

Walking into Velindre today for my SST test. One step closer to answers. Not sure if this is goodbye to steroids or a lifelong hello, but showing up anyway.

PS, excuse the chewing gum. 😜
Happy Friday All 🎀💕

In October 2021, I took a screenshot of a numerology report I’d bought.

My Sacred Personality Code was 5.5.3.8.5.

Three 5s.

I thought it was interesting at the time. I had absolutely no idea just how significant the number 5 would become four years later…

🔔 5th September 2025 — I rang the bell to signal the end of my first chemotherapy.

🔔 5th January 2026 — I rang another bell to mark the end of my radiotherapy treatment.

🔔 5th September 2026 — exactly one year after ringing that first bell, I’ve reached what I hope is the final milestone in my breast cancer treatment: the end of my clinical-trial chemotherapy.

5 • 5 • 5

Three 5s.

Three treatment milestones.

And what a journey these past 18 months have been.

Recently, little Stella has become my unofficial therapy dog, making me smile every single day and encouraging me to get outside, and go for our daily walkies. 🐾💞

And today, I took my final chemotherapy tablets.

No more counting down to the next cycle.

No more wondering when the next treatment begins.

Instead, I get to raise a glass with my best friend and celebrate just how far I’ve come. 🥂

I will always be grateful to the incredible people who have treated me, cared for me and carried me through, and to the clinical trials and the people who went before me that made my treatment possible.

Today isn’t just about finishing treatment.

It’s about beginning what comes next.

Let the Reset begin.

Here’s to living…

MORE ALIVE THAN BEFORE. 🎀💗💞

Well… another little plot twist in the journey! 🙈

I now have adrenal insufficiency, which means I may need to stay on steroids for life.

So, first stop this morning was Velindre hospital for blood tests to see what’s going on and what happens next. 🤞❤️

Then it was back to normal life… off to the vets with Stella for her flea and worming tablets. 🐶

And after that, we headed to the cemetery to take some flowers to my mum and to introduce her to our gorgeous new puppy. 🌸🐾❤️

Life really is a mixture, isn’t it?

Blood tests, hospitals, puppies, vets, memories, love and everyday jobs… all wrapped up in one Friday morning.

So, whatever you’re doing on this grey Friday, find something to enjoy in it.

Happy Friday, everyone! Em 💞

As we celebrated 24 years of marriage with the most gorgeous meal at Miller & Carter I realised how lucky I am.

Yes, the scallops were divine, the lamb rump and dauphinoise potatoes were sublime, Paul’s T-bone was delicious, and the profiteroles and chocolate brownie at the end were such a lovely surprise. 🥂❤️

But tonight wasn’t really about the food.

After everything the last 18 months have brought us, this anniversary feels a little more special.

From the moment I was diagnosed with cancer, through chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and everything else that has come our way, @granty4ever1
Paul has been right there beside me.

He has held my hand, picked me up, made me laugh, looked after me, reassured me and loved me through some of the hardest days of my life.

And somehow, through all of it, we’ve become even stronger.

Twenty-four years ago I married my best friend. My twin flame. My soulmate. The love of my life.

And if I had to choose all over again, through every high, every low, every adventure and every challenge…

I’d still choose you. Every single time. ❤️

Happy 24th Anniversary, Paul.

I love you more than ever and after the last 18 months, I don’t think I’ll ever take another anniversary, another meal, another laugh or another ordinary day together for granted.

Here’s to us, to everything we’ve already lived, and to all the beautiful chapters still waiting for us. 🥂

The best is yet to come. ❤️

After 18 Months Of Treatment, I’m Now Collecting My Final Chemotherapy Medication.

Only 3 Weeks Left And No More Chemo Or Immunotherapy For Me.

But without clinical trials, there would be no improvement or advancement in cancer prevention and recovery. ❤️‍🩹

By taking part in this trial, I feel I’ve given back for all the great treatment I received. I’ve given back to those who come after me, and I’m still thankful for those who went before me.

Let The Reset Begin!

If you are currently starting or going through treatment and the road ahead looks long and uncertain, follow me for positive support along the way. 💞
