After the Diagnosis
Six-years ago...
6-years ago today, I began what would be a three-year trek to save my life. I had just received a diagnosis of an incurable lymphoma.

This is a sweet story, surprise, about a Cornish midwife. It's one of those soft, cuddly, all-around feel-good stories that is more Hallmarky than Netflix, but definitely has its place when you need a story that takes the hard edges off your world. W ...more |
