“I’m not a complete dickhead … not all the time.”

I’m writing a book

In 2016, I started writing a blog while going through breast cancer treatment. Nine years later, those words somehow became the beginnings of a book.

It’s about family, fear, friendship, grief, ridiculous hospital moments, accidentally flashing your arse – and what life looks like when you’re lucky enough to look back.
