What I LOVED about this book was how it visually captured the weirdness of receiving a diagnosis, going through treatment, and then the absolutely HUGE wave of not-really-managed emotions you realise is inches from breaking over you after you've 'done the hard stuff'. Thanks @hayleygullen.com ❤️

I feel so often that I’m in the brace position. I’ve dealt with calamity before, as well as countless small things going wrong, so inevitably some more stress will be along again soon. #cansky 1/2

These things are taboo because they seem big and scary. They are. But illness and death are normal parts of life. We SHOULD talk about them. And maybe then we could have better policy. I hope my book will prompt some of these conversations. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-migh...

During cancer treatment I had to get used to the idea that there were often few certainties. Not many straightforward answers. #cansky 1/5

I do love the NHS. But how can we put it on a pedestal when things like this keep happening? If the staff are giving outdated or inaccurate advice then there are real problems in the culture. #cansky 1/4

It’s been a weird time. I finally have some time and space to process my feelings. And no, I did not expect to be signing copies of my book at Dad’s funeral, but this was a surprising and joyful part of the day. 1/6

How do we turn bureaucratic services and systems into something more human? A new long read 👇

Went for some checks at the breast clinic today. When you have lots of scar tissue from surgery and radiotherapy, as I do, it’s hard sometimes to work out if the lumpiness is expected or concerning. Anyway I got the all clear 👍🏻 Those messages about getting checked if you’re worried are important.

When you actively avoid using your laptop because every time you do it’s such a terrible experience… it’s probably time to get a new laptop.

Just noticed my book is #1 in “biographical comics and graphic novels” on the Kindle store, which is nice! www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0F4...

This poster is definitely a memento worth framing. If you want to read this “extraordinary, uplifting story” you can buy it here: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-migh... Or preorder via Bloomsbury USA in time for its publication there on November 18.

If you’re still on the fence about whether you want to buy my book, maybe this will help. #cansky 1/7

Ooh nice to see my book on the Cambridge alumni page ☺️ www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/benefits/boo...

On the other hand, I’ve had the amazing privilege of being able to create a book that I know will help others. It can get lonely out in cancerland, but there are a few good souls around here, too. You can buy my book here: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/this-migh... 2/2

My rites of passage are now topsy-turvy, thanks to cancer. Life didn’t owe me anything, of course, but I hadn’t expected to say goodbye to my fertility at 37, or to beat all my same-aged friends to the menopause, or to have to deal with endless health admin before I reached old age. #cansky 1/2

Agreed. It's a denial of what we're going through. Lying on the bathroom floor at 3am not knowing how I'm going to stay alive is not inspirational. #Cancer #Chemo #CanSky

Calling someone “inspirational” can be just as dehumanising as an insult. #cansky 1/4
