Thank you for visiting my blog. This was supposed to be about Breast cancer, and later, my stage 4 breast cancer, but then it became about much more. Healthcare in general, the challenges of parenting disabled children, and also documented the writing of my book, The Special Parent's Handbook. Hopefully you'll find something here that will resonate in some way with you, and if you'd like to read more, particuarly about special needs parenting, please visit my website http://yvonnenewbold.com/

So much to tell....
Amazing weekend away in a seaside hotel where absolutely nothing is too much trouble, and they only accept bookings from guests with cancer or other very serious conditions. A really scary time with someone who I love very much indeed needing emergency life-threatening surgery. Health scares for me too - tomorrow morning I'll get the results of the body scan I had to have on Friday to see if this cancer of mine is actively on the march all over again. Real sense of achievement with Laughter Yoga sessions, and a big challenge tomorrow afternoon with my biggest session yet - 60 or more participants, dauntingly exciting. Bursting into tears of pride and overwhelming gratitude today seeing my disabled son cross the finishing line of a sponsored walk across London, with two very dear friends pushing him all the way in the pouring rain. A puppet that looks just like me specially made for the stage play of this blog. So much to tell. No time to do it justice. I'll try and post about all this and much more in the next few days. Until then, please wish me luck for the morning.
