“I would’ve never guessed you’ve been through cancer"
Some said to me, “I would’ve never guessed you’ve been through cancer treatment and chemotherapy, you carry yourself so well.” and that’s when I realised, it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you handle it.

CAREGivers are the best of the best.
A cancer diagnosis affects close friends and family too. They matter. And they deserve our recognition and our gratitude.
From early morning calls with doctors, late nights spent lying awake dealing with letters and appointments, and every moment in-between, caregivers may be the lifeline to a person with cancer. We thank all the loved ones for their sacrifice, their courage, and their grace in giving so much of themselves to others.

'Deeper' A must read
I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s taken me over a year to read it but I have finally just put it down. After working with John Richards personally after my wife’s cancer diagnosis, I really can’t thank him enough. He has has given me a new foundation and outlook on life that I can use to move forward. He has taught me skills and self belief/care that makes me feel humble and brave enough to deal with anything that life throws at me. I’ve also been able to use these new skills to help those close to me. If anyone wants to meet up for a chat, I’m always more than happy to be a listening/helping ear.
I defy anyone who reads this book not to be touched or changed in some way. Not only does it search your soul, it reaches parts of your heart and mind that leaves you thinking and reflecting for a long time.

Husband, partner, father… and caregiver
Husband, partner, father… and caregiver: Cancer gave me a lesson in life and love and happiness
Justin Wright: Finding a balance between work and parenting responsibilities is tough for anyone. For me it meant redefining myself as a dad and husband too. Overnight my priorities changed and I had a different perspective to life. We’re both 39 and couldn’t believe for one minute this was happening to our family. I felt guilt and asked why it couldn't be happing to me a day instead. Not to the mother of my children.
Seeing my wife Fler Wright’s passionate desire to fight cancer head-on, she would not let me see her break. So strong and a infectious positive attitude towards life that made me so strong. When she was diagnosed over a year ago, I was very fearful. But because we were in a fight for her life, I always said to myself, I must be the best possible version of myself I can be. Want to be a role model for my kids so they can remember that dad tried his best and live with no regrets. I made a decision that I was going to be who she needed me to be so that she could get better—whether that meant holding her hand, getting her medication, paying all the bills and paperwork (that’s another story) making sure she got to her appointments and keeping track of all the letters, calendars, school run, school dinners, childcare etc..” I was in charge for once…
And that’s what I did. For 14 months I dedicated myself to being her husband and her caregiver —and I was learning more than ever about cancer and the journey along the way. I kept notes on everything, because I knew that while she had amazing doctors and nurses, I was willing to contribute to her health, We even went vegan for a while and cut out dairy. Basically trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Even started running again! I wanted to dedicate myself in a way nobody else could. I found this the very rewarding as I could see that being in control gave her one less thing to worry about. Not to mention the 3 kids. Even they started to eat vegetables…

New Hair Dooo
Yes many of us do lose our hair during chemo treatment but not all, this doesn’t mean the treatment is any less aggressive and the impact any less bloody terrible.
With or without hair.
Was lucky to have my amazing sister who is a hair stylist @marybelle_seaford help me, and @uniquehairandbeautyseaford for my latest look.💛

This is very interesting and helpful @tedtalk featuring writer, teacher, activist and cancer survivor @suleikajaouad.
"The hardest part of my cancer experience began once the cancer was gone,” says Jaouad.
You’re not Superdad!!!
I remember when I was facing tough moments in my life last year. I was struggling as a husband/carer/friend/daddy of +3 young children/all things work/my health and wellbeing. I then found myself reading this below many times over the months ahead to helped me focus on myself, as I knew I needed to be the best possible version of myself I could be.... during these tough times when my best friend (my wife) was fighting cancer head on.
Reading this 'Desiderata - Word of life' gave me a great sense of pride and made me realise that I'm human (not superman) and needed help from my true friends and family.

Desiderata - Words for Life
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
