The wisest of words from @Liz_ORiordan - switch off, step back and take care of yourself if you need to x
If you have cancer, or know someone who has, it can be incredibly triggering when someone famous dies. 😰The death of Deborah James is tragic, but you need to look after yourself. 👉Step back from social media and the news, focus on your bubble and be kind to yourself 💛

Share this widely. Sarcomas are uncommon cancers that can develop anywhere in the body including the muscle, bone, tendons, blood vessels and fatty tissues. Don't ignore a lump this #SarcomaAwarenessMonth. sarcoma.org.uk/WhatIsSarcoma

I am standing to be a Governor, because I want to give back to the Trust after their @RSCH_TYAcancer, St Luke's, and other teams have helped me through 3 trying illnesses. The whole Trust gives such expert care and I want to do all I can to help that continue... [2]

Absolutely this. People don’t know what to say. People resent it & take offence when I’ve been honest & possibly short with them. People expect me to behave in a certain way. But throughout, the one thing I have been is honest. Having #TimeToTalk about grief is so very important.
People don't know what to say in the face of grief, really all people need to do is listen. Today is #TimeToTalk Day. Letting your friend talk about their grief is like holding their hand in the darkness. You can’t fix this but you can walk beside them💙@TimetoChange @MindCharity
