Most days are better than others. But 2day having a cancer diagnosis & anxiety of living with it bring negative paralysis. I’m trying 2 ground myself. I never forget becos of 4-wkly implant & daily meds taken. It has 2 turn around so I’m fabulously flourishing. #ovariancancer

#3goodthings 1 - rest 2 - rest 3 - more rest. Been exhausted for last few weeks. Bloods are ok as well as last cancer review, so guessing it’s workload & stress pre-retirement in 3 months plus burnout from managing all Mum’s needs between Jan - Sept this year.
