My mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer on Jan 2nd, 2024 and this substack is helping me a lot. From Madrid, Spain, Thank you very much for documenting your journey and show that there is hope!
New here but have also been working on allowing myself some grace to reframe regular writing as an act of self-care and not so much as work (though, you know, it can be). Also would love to hear more about the “bean soup emergency”, made me laugh. Hope the new year brings continued good health.
We need more of there discussions. The line between ‘gift to future me’ and ‘desperate attempt to control the shit out of everything’ is nano thin a lot of the time... or is that just me? My lovely psychologist encourages me to keep moving forward, even tiny steps, tiny changes, are progress. Season’s Greetings and Per’s cookies look delicious!

So timely! I'm 72 and was just thinking about this for the first time in my life, so it was great to read your article. Thank you!
