The update

So it’s been a long time since I sat down to type or write and part of me knows why and part of me doesn’t. I’ve had a lot to say, but was avoiding putting it down on paper. Not just here but I guess anywhere.

I have scribbled but not as much as I meant to, and not here. Not putting it here can I suppose be partially excused because its hardly thematically linked to minimal or organised living. Although come to think of it…

Anyway I don’t want to bury the lead anymore

I have breast cancer.

I was initially diagnosed in August. It was large and infiltrated the lymph nodes. I had a right breast mastectomy on the 18th October with three lymph nodes also being taken. I’m having a port o cath installed (?) inserted on Monday with 6 infusions of chemotherapy to follow between Thursday – like in a week from writing this and sometime in March. Followed by radiation therapy and hormone blockers.

It feels like too much right now to talk about the above, except to say two things; I want to get back in the groove of posting, but it might be little and often and secondly this blog will pivot.

Thanks for understanding
