I wrote a kind of love letter to Istanbul while looking out this coffee shop window today. It felt good to write again. It flowed... I'll be doing more during my many future trips...

Looks like Turkey is about to become my second home again this summer! I've had a slight recurrence, best of a worst case scenario I guess! I have a few small lesions along my spinal column. I've had back pain for a while now and lately, it's had me living in fear that the cancer was back. That fear created anxiety which I was able to manage using the various practices I've adopted over the past couple of years including breath work, meditation, visualisation... But when I saw my scan today, I almost felt relieved that I didn't have to live in fear anymore, I know where I stand now. Sounds weird but it was a calm feeling, I knew deep down it was coming and I was expecting it today more than any other time I've gone for results. In saying all that... It's OK, it's manageable, it'll be under control again very soon. I've had 21 months of disease free living in this stage 4 journey which is a hell of a lot more than most people. Living with a chronic illness is just that, it's chronic, its living with... It's a flare up like any other illness. There'll be ups and downs and on and on it goes. I'll be trying my best to live life in between visits to Turkey, we haven't worked out a treatment schedule just yet but I'm in good hands. The best in the world in my opinion. #mcwellness #cancergoblins #onwego

It's the night before scan results and my mind has been working overtime going to the worst case scenario and what that will mean for the future... The thoughts have been dark! My last clear scan was in December and even though I've had some good indicators since then, the niggling aches and pains have put doubts in my mind and... Well catastrophising isn't the word!! I chatted on instastories about how I was feeling and oh my god most of the worry has lifted. I've spent most of the day ruminating inside my own head and now it's reduced massively by talking it out. I knew this. Why didn't I do it sooner?!? Anyway, the message is, it's good to talk! The candles are lit for a good result tomorrow. I love this little community. Thanks a gazillion for all the support, today and always ❤️ #cancergoblins #lightthecandles #clearscan #itsgoodtotalk #mcwellness

Feel as if a cloud has lifted today! #solarstorm #madeofstardust #resumenormalservice

How are you feeling this week? Personally I've been exhausted, apathetic, feeling lazy, just a bit meh! This might be the reason ⬆️ Having a chat on instastories and on my Facebook page @maireadmcwellness about feeling low on energy, how we sometimes expect too much from ourselves and how it's OK to just say, fuck it, I'll do it tomorrow, or the next day or maybe next week. Give yourself a break, today, and other days too when you're giving out to yourself in your head for not doing enough or being up to standard... Who makes the standards anyway? Is it societal pressure to be busy all the time? Or is your inner critic telling you that you're not good enough? Well today I'm saying a big F off to both of those and I'm gonna watch some daytime TV. Yep, feet up, in the comfy clothes with tea and a blanket and the world and my lists can just wait. #selfcare #loveyourself #mcwellness #mcwellnessmindandbody

Magic happens when you let it go!✨ Accept, surrender, trust that all will work out... #mcwellness #mcwellnessmindandbody #wellness #letyourshitgo #makelifeeasy #freedom #quiettheinnercritic #positivity #Repost from @positivelypresent with @regram.app ... Let it go. 🎈

This time three years ago I found a lump in my breast. I never imagined it would be cancer, I was too young. But it happens to young women and early detection = greatest chance of survival. So stop scrolling and go and check your boobs immediately! Don't be scared, be proactive, get to know your body. The shower is a great place to check but there's never a bad time, whether it's daily, weekly or monthly. Get to know your normal. @coppafeelpeople can help with the best way to check. #mcwellness #mcwellnessmindandbody #checkyourboobs #breastcancer #anyexcuseforaselfie
