If you held my hand when I had cancer, showed me it wasn't
all bad -
If you sent me a message because you'd read a blog post and it
had helped -
If you shared my posts, commented on Facebook, retweeted or
liked -
If you told me I should have my blog posts published in a
book…
… and said it again when I laughed.
If you are reading this now -
Thank you!
Because of you I put on my big girl pants, thrust back my
shoulders and submitted the idea for a book: It's Not All Bad, to Urbane
Publications. And there we were, two days later, the husband and I, a year
after my diagnosis and travelling to a cottage in North Yorkshire for a cheeky
weekend away, when an email arrived from Matthew Smith, Publishing Director.
He liked the idea, actually, he said, 'love'. He 'loved the
idea'; I nearly smashed the windscreen with my squeal.
And so it was that Tea & Chemo was born.
Without you all, the book would still be a figment of my
imagination. And yet, here I am, very chuffed and rather stunned to learn that
Tea & Chemo is the winner of the Live Better With's inaugural Spotlight Award for Best Cancer Book.
