. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
For me Breast cancer or rather getting rid of the 'bastard' breast cancer was the most enormous challenge I have had to face in my life, but here I am a year later having fought and won that particular battle within the overall war!
I decided to to women v cancer ride the night at the very start of my diagnosis, it seemed like a good idea, a way of sharing with my friends and family that I was through the worst and out the other side. it was in my own way me shouting from the roof tops F**k Off 'Bastard Cancer, you didn't get me!
The ride is this Saturday 31st of May, that's in two days time and now let me tell you I feel WHAT THE F**K WAS I THINKING!
100km (62 miles)
In the middles of the Night
In LONDON
Now I think AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Seriously I am just dreading it in terms of the physical drain on my already tired and achy body but in terms of what it will represent it is the pivotal point to a very hard year so I am going to ride like the wind and do my very, very best and hope that I will do everyone who has sponsored me proud.
Jo is doing it with me and we must not forget what a shit year it has been for her as my caring supportive sister. There have been times when I have been a cow this last year and typical Jo she has taken it all in her stride. I know when we cross the finishing line or maybe even before there will be many tears that flow with the relief of the past year being over and the dawn of a new day. A day where I get my life back and get my show back on the road!
I go into hospital next Friday for the start of reconstruction which firstly will be a reduction of my remaining breast. Can't wait!
So thanks for all the sponsorship and support and we will speak again real soon
love Wendy x
