Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I think this was one of the first pieces of 'life' writing I put out into the world and it's strange reading it back. The writer part of me wants to edit it, but there's a bigger part of me that feels how far I've come since those early moments of diagnosis and treatment.
I’m not sure how I found you on here but just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story so honestly and beautifully. Your writing is so good. I lived in Yorkshire for five happy years, it’s such a friendly part of the world isn’t it x
Thank you so much for reading and your kind comment. I wrote this a few years ago but haven't really shared it until popping it here a few weeks ago and even then I haven't really told anyone it's here. I'm so pleased you found it, it gives me a little confidence boost to keep going. Where did you live in Yorkshire? We've been here since Sept 2017 now, the years are adding up!
Harriet this is my first ever comment on Substack. I love and relate to your memoir style writing and it has inspired me as well as making me swell with well wishes for you. I don't know how I found you on here...I am a little confused by the platform. I am wondering if just diving in and reacting to some things will get me swept along with the tide of it. It says under this comment that I can also share it as a note. I am not sure what that means and any tips welcome. Cheering you on regardless.
Great to read this very honest and affecting piece, Harriet. So scary and difficult for you- I love that the word ‘slog’ was something to hold onto.
