My Story
...a work in progress...

I still cry when I hear the word Cancer. These days I believe it's more out of the beauty i choose to see in the world around me and the moments I can experience and less about the pain in the C word.

I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and 7 months later I had Melanoma. I just spent the past 5 years of my life living in Singapore before returning to Australia to live the life i never did, with purpose that is in line with my values & strengths!

 

How the heck was I mid 30's and in the best shape of my life, with friends and a career anyone would be envious of and literally not have a clue what was growing inside me?!

I had Stage 4 Cancer and smashed it.

I had Melanoma and cut it out.

I had trauma I didn't know about until years later...and that's when the hard journey really began!

I stayed as confidently optimistic living with my new and unintended perspective determined to live life to the fullest, moved to Singapore with my husband and started my new life with promise and passion.

 

What I didn't do is find people who had been through similar situations and ask for help to answer the many questions I had, but didn't know yet.

​

I’ve just celebrated my 40th Birthday and am now divorced and taking a year away from the professional career I've been working on for 20+ years, and I only now realised through some difficult decisions to pursue a life to help those who will experience the same challenges I did after treatment that no-one warned me about.
