How it started: diagnosis of lobular #breastcancer, mastectomy, radiotherapy. How it’s going: just run first ever #10K! Thank you to ⁦@NHSuk⁩, ⁦@parkrunUK⁩ & the genius who invented #Couchto5K ⁦@TheLondon10K⁩ ⁦@ParkinsonsUK⁩

1/2 Today I am officially two years clear of #cancer, described to me by medics as “the scariest period”. I feel so lucky I didn’t have to have my operation in #covid times. Thanks to @NHSuk for getting me this far. I am celebrating with an extra large can of alcohol free beer!

Over and out. My last standalone shift on 24 hour @bbcnews. Started on night shifts in 1997 - couldn’t count how many hours of live broadcasting I’ve done! Good luck to wonderful colleagues for their new venture. Really excited to be moving permanently to the @bbcone bulletins.

1/2 Realise there’s only one story in town #HappyValley - but just wanted to flag some job news, that I’m thrilled to be moving permanently to our BBC1 bulletins, working across @bbcnews at 1, 6 & 10. The volume of messages I’m receiving suggests this hasn’t been entirely clear…

TV is teamwork. Today this wonderful woman, legendary floor manager Tracey, stayed with us an extra 4 & a half hours after her early shift because she saw we were in challenging circumstances- out of the goodness of her heart. Arise Dame Tracey! @BBCNews #PlatinumJubilee

Overwhelmed by so many lovely back-to-work messages. I just want to say that my return wouldn't have been possible without our NHS. Sending love & thanks to the numerous @NHSuk staff who spotted my breast cancer, treated it, and continue to look after me. Thank you all.

Broadly speaking, I love my job. But once in a while a story comes along that is just too bleak for words. I am glad to be going home. Hope everyone has a peaceful evening. #SheWasJustWalkingHome

I want to say a massive thank you for the mountain of lovely messages I’ve received today… from colleagues past & present, even people from rival news organisations! I’m overwhelmed & very touched. Sorry I’ve not yet had time to reply to everyone. #bbcnews

Would just like to do a big shout out to so many wonderful colleagues past & present - 24hr #BBCNews changes on Monday. As the presenter who was there from beginning to end (!), I’m so sad I can’t be with everyone this evening to mark the moment. Thank you all X @bbcnews

Like most of us, I can only really think about #Ukraine. But I did want to thank those who’ve helped me reach another milestone today, 3 years clear of #lobular #breastcancer. Onwards and upwards. @nhs @BreastCancerNow @LobularBCUK @CR_UK

This statement made me well up… takes you right back to that moment of diagnosis. It’s seared in your memory. And I didn’t have three small children to think about. My thoughts are with all families tonight dealing with #cancer. #PrincessofWales

Hang on in there. Life does return to normal. I still do all the things I loved before my mastectomy: walk my dog, enjoy the countryside, go to the gym, go to the theatre, hang out with friends. Oh yes, and do my job! #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #breastcancer #lobular

The anxiety leading up to my mastectomy was overwhelming. Now I feel relief.I'm sad that such a brutal procedure is necessary in many breast cancer cases,but I choose life.I'll follow Walt Whitman's words:Keep your face always toward the sun & the shadows will fall behind you

Okay I know I’m extremely tired but that just made me cry. Is this how the evening is going to go? #Paddington #PlatinumJubilee #PlatinumParty @bbcone

Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek. Sadly I’m not visible at all today as I’m laid up in bed with some terrible bug… but back in the @bbcnews newsroom soon I hope - and around for some of the celebrations later in the week…. ⁦@DIVAmagazine⁩
