About Me

My name is Katherine Bown (maiden: Formosa) and on 23rd February ‘09, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This is my story, my diary, which I hope will be support to those who are battling breast cancer or those waiting for their biposy results that are eager to find out more…

And to my friends and family, I thank you all for you continuous support and sometimes when I’m in hibernation and don’t feel like talking, this is a great way to keep you all up-to-date with my news.

For those who don't know me, I’m 33 years old, I live in Cardiff and I recently got married. I run a website, www.urbantraffic.co.uk and I also work part-time as a Communications Manager.

Sun, Sea, Sand....and Wigs

Ok so Thursday morning, I'm off to Palma with 3 friends of mine. I've not packed but I think I know what I'm taking; Factor 50 sun lotion (I've only ever gone up to factor 15 when I was in the Maldives so Hub, are you reading? ... am taking Factor 50 to make sure I don't burn, get ill, and you have to come home!), a big hat, kaftans and flip flops. That's all I need. Oh and a wig for the evenings!!

I'm debating wearing the wig for travelling. It gets itchy and its heavy and as I've said before, I enjoy 'being undercover' but I'm not sure if i'll feel suspicious in my wig and draw attention to myself! But then do I want the embarrassement of wearing a scarf and cap and have to remove them at the bag scanning section.... now way, i'd be mortifed.

It's a toughie.

Or maybe I can just wear my wig the whole holiday, I've had hair before, so I don't know why it feels so weird in a wig. I can wash it when I shower every day and put it back on... hmmmm.... am not sure what to do.

See, dealing with cancer is tough enough, but dealing with cancer and trying to look healthy and well in spain is another thing...
