Music to live by

Welcome

After years of procrastinating I have finally done it and created a blog - so please if you choose to follow forgive the mistakes, blanks spaces and layout until this all becomes clearer to me!

My name is Mel and at 31 years of age and 20 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with cancer. What was most difficult for me to deal with during my treatment and the subsequent 5 years following was the total lack of information and support for women and men in my situation - That being supporting a young family and relationship while undergoing cancer treatment and the additional stresses this bought to your treatement and recovery.

For me I felt totally alone and found that recommended books did not relate to me or my situation due to them being written by people who were often retired with grown families and living in comfortable financial situations.

So this is where my dream begins with this blog to connect with others like me, to provide support to others like me and one-day to write a book for others like me and for those yet to come - I welcome you all.
