"As time stretches out between me and the shock of those early diagnosis days, I’m spending more and more time with cancer as a back note, a gentle hum to my day. I cook, I write, I read, I see friends, we laugh, alot.  All of these things I do with a body that doesn’t work as well as it did and probably never will again. All of these things I do with a body which is significantly scarred and changed. It’s the physicality of cancer that will be my personal tinnitus.

But I am living with it, I am not defined by it. I am not cancer. And that discovery feels like a small triumph."

Searingly honest, heart-breaking, often sweary and laugh out loud funny, LUMP is one woman’s rollercoaster ride through the mind meltdown which comes with learning you have breast cancer. 

Utterly human and compelling, it’s a unique story which will resonate with anyone and everyone who’s ever had a battle with a life changing event in their lives.
