I'm a massive strictly fan. I think I get more excited about seeing the professionals more then the celebs nowadays 😅 it's so nice seeing how excited they all get on the socials, love it, true Christmas countdown!

I just feel so sad for Amy this year though. I can't believe how effected I am by it. You can just tell how utterly devastated she is and just wants to go back to normal. And her recent posts about her hair... it's just so heartbreaking. So sad to think how your life can change so quickly.

I've watched many close to me have breast cancer. My mum had breast cancer, as did my nanna. One of my very close friends sadly died from it last year too, she was only in the thirties.
Maybe with social media now, the effects of cancer and chemo is so much more known and common and it's very hard to process and even begin to comprehend what that journey must be like for the person who has it.

My mum started with lots of, none cancerous, breast cysts. Some women have them, some don't. I have followed in my mums footsteps though and had to have a few investigated over the years. Maybe I'm starting to wonder if this so what's waiting for me too......

Anyway, is anyone else just feeling so touched for Amy 😢 Sending her lots of well wishes for a speedy recovery and wellness 🩷

Find your local Cancer support centres/groups and support them. Steer clear of the huge conglomerates such as CRUK or Macmillan. If you want to support, start locally.
