Passion for life can overcome death. I know this is true. I have proof. He is sitting right opposite me as I type. If you have read 'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer' you will know that I am telling the truth. But the question is ....do you have a passion for life? If you were told tomorrow that you had 3 months to live would you be able to grab your passion and hang on it it? Would you know what the three most important things in your life were? I was lucky that having told Steve he had cancer, his immediate response was to list the three most important things that he wanted to achieve within his life time. We had never discussed this previously. For Steve his three

Mandy Brown, author of 'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer' reads an extract from Chapter 1 The Death Sentence. Steve was given 3 months to live in 1986 with terminal cancer. No treatment was offered as he was 'full of cancer'. Mandy was determined this would not be the end. Her book follows their incredible story to triumph. See all the 5 star reviews on Amazon including: "I read this book by accident. It came highly recommended and so I thought I should at least take a look at the first page. From then on I kept reading ... and laughing out loud ... and nearly missed my station when I was sitting on the train with the tears running down my face and not caring what the

Kindness in this world is to be treasured and celebrated. I have just received this wonderful, kind gift from a neighbour who has read 'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer'. She thoughtfully even bought me some very appropriate sunflowers seeds! Thank You Trisha, who lives in Seaton! Being the recipient of kindness - whether from a known or unknown source or when I witness an act of kindness - always leaves me feeling so blessed and loved. Have you noticed that whatever is happening in your life, that causes you stress or worry, disappears (even if only for a moment) when you receive a thoughtful or surprise gift? It follows that the giving of a gift or an act of kindness

I told you I would share some private family album photo. So, just for you –Steve showing off his operation stitches (first operation) in typical Steve fashion! Little did we know then that several months later the oncologist would give him just 3 months to live and send him home to die. 'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer' tells our incredible story. We hope that it will inspire you to face your challenges and beat them, just as Steve did. "It will make you laugh and cry. I love the sense of humour that runs through the book, especially now I work in a hospital setting." Gordon Parton - Reviewer on Amazon Steve definitely had us in stitches – especially in Chapter 3: Toi

Daddy love! Playing games as if every second counted….because, well, they did! Chapter 9: New Game, New Shame in 'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer' will certainly highlight this. "Not only is this book an inspiration and education for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have cancer touch their lives. It is also a very personal and uplifting read." Dawn - Reviewer Amazon I heard today that more people are surviving after being given a ‘terminal diagnosis’ of cancer. One reason they reported was due the advances in medicine, but the other big change and reason was due to the more positive attitude and mind-set of the person. This is fantastic news. www.nipplestokneecaps

Poor Steve was wasting away. Gaunt, getting even thinner and weaker, but he still wanted to be there for Alexander. Days after this picture, Steve was told the treatment was not working – he was dying - so maybe tomorrow Steve would not be there. I received this review of the book today: "A truly inspiring story! A rollercoaster of emotions. Never again will I doubt that you can achieve anything you set your heart out to do. Thank you Mandy & Steve for sharing your amazing story."

As you have expressed an interest in 'Nipples to Kneecaps – to die or not to die with cancer' I wish to share some personal photographs from our family albums and a few extra comments that are not in the book. This photo of me, Steve and Alexander was taken in 1986 a few months after Steve was given three months to live. Steve was determined to be there for his son even if he was too weak himself to hold up the dish to feed him – so here you can see team work in action! P.S. I can’t believe I wore that blue jump suit – what was I thinking?

The spirit and soul of the stillborn baby and the ones who are born to only stay for a short while (be that an hour, a day, a week or a few months) is looked after, at all times, by the ever present, loving Spirit. The child’s spirit and soul came from Love – from the Source - to stay awhile with the parents. During this time Spirit remains very closely connected and is present with them constantly, so that when the child ‘returns’, they are easily taken into the loving arms of Spirit awaiting them. The role of the ‘Soul Midwife’ , in these situations, is not for the child but for the parents who feel the physical loss. The ‘Soul Midwife’ takes on her/his role as ’Soul Guide’ to help the par
