    The tweet I never wanted to write. The time has come to say goodbye. 5 years to prepare, doesn’t make it any easy. I’m under hospice at home care, & I’m spending my time surrounded by my family. Please buy me a 🍷 to see me out and raise vitial funds. bowelbabe.org ❤️

    Thanks to an incredibly generous donation earlier today, and to every single person who’s donated to the @BowelbabeF, we’ve just reached the unbelievable total of £5 million. We’re completely lost for words. This is all just beyond anything we could have ever imagined. @CR_UK

    I thought I’d lost hope recently. I was first on chemo in 2017. We danced through each cycle - attached to the pump. My first “living with cancer memories. I didnt think I’d see that year out. It’s now 2021, he’s taller than me, we still dance…(reluctantly!). This is hope.

    “My chemo is working!”. Yes I’m still managing the fall out that is hideous side effects, and yes I’m a treatment for life girl! But more time living - what more can I ask for? Xx

    Chemo dancing whilst hooked up to life saving drugs is on! This cycle, kids are away, so mum has stepped up! She has literally been nursing me back to life for the last month through liver failure and sepsis - song couldn’t be more apt! Cancer is still happening! #stayingalive

    My inpatient stay to recover from my recent sepsis is frustratingly longer than I’d like. But when you have friends like @GabyRoslin prepared to come and sing and dance in the street by your window at the @royalmarsden how can it not lift your mood! You are amazing! ❤️❤️
