When you’re living with cancer, what makes a good day? *

During chemo I rediscovered the pleasure of warm baths. Soaking in a hot bath helped alleviate the bone and muscle pain, and when the pain was really bad, I would spend hours in hot water.  Now I bathe to relax and there's nothing better than a nice fluffy foam to help relieve the stress.

* Phrase stolen from Macmillan's Good Day campaign: "When you're living with cancer, the difference between a good day and a bad day can often come down to really small things." http://www.macmillan.org.uk/GetInvolved/Brand/TakeAction.aspx
