Stomach sucks, kissing and eye rolling = healthy breathing! I first came across the importance of correct breathing and various techniques when I was taking public speaking lessons in my teens. "Breathe from your diaphragm,!" the tutor said. I noticed when I did this, not only could I project my voice but it came across stronger and more confident. Result! When Steve was diagnosed with terminal cancer and the doctors offered no treatment (as it was too late), I had to find my 'confident voice' to speak on his behalf. When you are faced with a stressful situation breathing correctly can definitely help. You will find it's not just the deep breath in that calms, but the long breath out! Try a
I wanted to share some extracts of the book, but couldn't decide which So, I decided to let chance play a role. I randomly wrote down a few page numbers and I will now share with you the first of those random number and the first paragraph on that page. P 35 Steve sighed as the warm shower caressed his aching limbs. I held onto him, enjoying the physical contact (so rare in those days). I shut my eyes and savoured the moment of closeness, as the warm water fell over and around our naked bodies. But then something felt wrong. I felt my body tense. What was it?

Life is like a roller coaster at your local fun fair, but when you have cancer you seem to go up a league and find yourself on one of those massive roller coasters in the major amusement parks. You know the ones - the ones with names like Gravity Max, Goliath or Oblivion - for the brave, adrenaline junkies or as Steve calls them 'Nutters.' Advertising phrases such as "Brace yourself for death-defying thrills when you board the world’s scariest roller coasters" seem to resonate with the feelings involved when being told you have cancer. A few thundering turns on a roller coaster set off a chemical reaction—the release of adrenaline and dopamine—that makes us feel giddy and intensely alive. Th
I saw this poster and loved it! It is such a memorable day when you get told you are in remission or that there are no more traces of cancer in your body. People celebrate in different ways. But, I have noticed a few common threads about all the long term cancer survivors I know - they all develop a positive attitude about life, they all make changes in their life such as leaving the job they hated, they all decide to follow a dream they had or now have, and in the immortal words of Steve, they "just get on with it!"
Have you ever noticed that when you are truly laughing that you may not appear at your most attractive in photos? But, they are certainly the best memories! Being told you are dying with cancer is a very serious matter, but it does not mean you have to give up on telling jokes, smiling and sharing funny stories with the person (particularly if that is something the person enjoyed doing before their cancer diagnosis). I recently posted about what I hoped a reader might gain from reading 'Nipples to Kneecaps.' That was me with my serious head on. :) So, today with my usual Mandy head on, I would like to emphasize that I also hope that my book touches you, the reader, emotionally and makes you
