Just another blog from a 40-something year old expat woman living with metastatic breast cancer. Divorced, mum of two, UN worker.

Just another blog…

Welcome to another blog from a 40-something year old woman

Probably not so different than all the other blogs from 40-something-year-old women. But here we go. I’ll be sharing some thoughts and feelings about my new normal*, which is living away from home as a divorced, mum of two recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.

*It’s the cancer – oh and the divorced – that are what make up the “new”!

It is me, just sharing my personal stories and perspectives about…

Life, Joy…

And anger and the other emotions I don’t like talking about.

Cancer

The impact on me, the family. Thoughts and feelings and this new found need to “do something” (whatever that means)

Children

Impossible not to mention the kids and how living abroad, having cancer, divorce may impact on them.

Not sure they are all factual (but what I perceive/d), definitely not medically, psychologically or professionally endorsed. I do not purport to know any answers and am not recommending anything. It is just my personal experience and what I am choosing (or not) to do.
