Two posts in one morning I hear you cry! But I just had to share with you this link to a very personal blog entry by a young man whose late mother was diagnosed with womb cancer at the age I am now:

As an endometrial cancer survivor, I want to thank you for writing this blog. Far too often, people forget that cancer affects everyone in a family, not just the person with the

Another day with no news from friends in the US who’ve been hit by Hurricane Sandy. My thoughts are with everyone over there, not just the people I know.

This morning I'm hoping for good news from friends over on the east coast of America. Sometimes life decides cancer isn't enough, there has to be even more to contend with. But the resilience and positive attitude that get many people through cancer also prevail at other difficult times. I’ll keep you posted.

To blog or not to blog? That was the question I’d been asking myself for some time and finally I decided yes, so here I am on Day 3 and pondering what to write... It’s not easy being a blogger!

My ponderings are peach because I've been on an unexpected journey with womb cancer as my travelling companion. I can’t say exactly when that journey began because who knows when the cancer joined me. Maybe it took a long time to introduce itself, maybe not, but when I finally found out I had a companion I didn't recognise its name, I knew nothing about it and I didn't know anyone who’d been through it. How ironic that, as a child, I was taught never to talk to strangers and yet there I was harbouring one and taking it with me wherever I went. I’d picked up a hitchhiker without realising.

I've since found out that approximately 1900 women die from womb cancer each year in the UK and around 8000 annually in the US. I also know that, far from being alone, there is support out there for women who need it and that support is being provided by other women who've been through womb cancer. It’s no longer like it was when I was diagnosed and it doesn't have to be like that for you either.

When I was diagnosed with womb cancer I’d never heard of it before, so here’s a link to the Macmillan womb cancer page with links to all their info about it – I hope you find it useful:

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Rambling Rose, welcome to my Peach Ponderings. You might be wondering why peach – or you might not, but I’ll tell you anyway. Peach is the colour for endometrial cancer, otherwise known as womb cancer or uterine cancer, and I’m a womb cancer survivor so it seemed a fitting name. I’m not sure what I’ll be sharing with you on this blog but I thought there should at least be something on the page and this paltry first offering is it!
