Thank you... please keep checking my blog out... more to come...

Hello to you all,

thank you so much for the truly amazing response. I've had so many messages about this blog and I am amazed at the number of page views... 740 at the time of writing this... this site only went live in the early hours of Saturday morning... that's less than four days!

Although I am feeling very strong about things, working on my blog is a welcome relief from what is going on. I continue to have a positive attitude but I won't deny I am having the odd moment of difficulty.

Please do continue to revisit these pages. I will continue to update them. I have posted five video diaries so far but there are a couple more that I have already made and will publish in the next few days. I also plan to take a camera in with me when I have my next chemo treatment along with making the video diaries a little more interesting as time goes on... not just me talking to camera.

Please feel free to share this with others that you think might be interested.

Thanks again for all your support. It really does mean a lot to me,
Kat. xxx

Video Diary 3: Chemo Day

The day I start ABVD chemo for Hodgkin Lymphoma. This is my third video diary and my camera seems to be ill in sympathy! So apologies for the dropped frames... capturing this was a bit of a nightmare... worse than the chemo... Haha, inappropriate jokes rule! ;) Filmed on Friday 12th August AM

Welcome to my new site! :)

Apologies to everyone for being a bit crap at replying to messages recently. I've had some really brilliant ones and I want to sit down and give the replies proper thought. However, I've been a bit absorbed with recent events as well as setting up this web site.

I plan to talk about my Hodgkin Lymphoma and the chemo I'm having. I've uploaded a couple of vlogs that I've made so far and there are more to come. I want to keep this all quite public for a couple of reasons. Firstly, everyone's support has been a real help. I feel very blessed to know so many of you kind and wonderful people. But secondly, I've realised how many people are going through similar situations and I'm hoping my experiences might be helpful. So please feel free to check my videos out and forward them on if you think they are in any way useful or of interest to some one you know... who knows... maybe my ramblings will help more than just me! ;)
