"It was a little bit like well, you're dying anyway, so there's nothing much we can do for you." Ahead of the debates due to take place in the Senedd on Wednesday 19th Oct, Rhiannon has done some great coverage around the need to Secondary Breast Cancer specialist nurses in Wales. Unfortunately due to more turmoil in Westminster it doesn't look like the piece will be on BBC Wales politics at 10 tomorrow anymore.

As I was driving up to Cardiff this morning I really was not in the best place. There has been an influx of deaths recently in my circle, along with an impending CT scan combined with a blood test which I know will tell me my tumour markers are still rising. I was not feeling particularly in the mood to be in a space where red tape seems to exist for the hell of it.
There were a few factors which had wobbled me before the petitions committee meeting today and I was starting to feel a little messed around. Everything seemed a little ad-hoc and rushed last minute, despite having 31 days to prepare.
I heaved myself out of the car and took a little stroll to the bay front and sat overlooking the water with a cup of tea. I kind of âphased outâ for about 5 minutes, just feeling the Autumn sun on my cheeks and going down a hypothetical rabbit hole of what would need to start going wrong for me to end up like Sally, Wendy and Nina. God... I hate it when I have a scan coming up. Reality quickly snatched me back with a pocket buzz, it was Mags. She was waiting to meet me outside the Senedd, it was only 12.55. Great stuff! â we can chat while we wait. â |
