ovarian cancer + a brain injury - pass the wine...now!

This is a diary by an ordinary woman who suddenly had ovarian cancer. Extraordinary! And rather startling to say the least. after 5 years of recovering well through cancer, I had an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. [burst aneurism] one of the after effects - aphasia the never ending, invisible disablement 🦹🏼 read on...

the charities I'm fundraising for

  • Ovarian Cancer Action
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a BIG BAT. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
