Thank you for onboarding me so gracefully to y/our spaceship. The stars really do shine so brightly against this blackness. Your star is often my guiding light ⭐️
Oh my love. We twinkle together in this corner of our universe. Not what we envisaged for our lives but we make it lovely nonetheless. I am with you. ✨
Zoe and I spent time star gazing, high up in the Alps last week! We lay down in a thick snow drift and watched the stars, they shone so brightly, the whole of the Milky Way, Jupiter, Mars and beautiful Venus! It brought comfort after a troubling year, there wasn’t a shooting star for us, but so many stars in our galaxy shining so very brightly.
Thank you for your words, filled with sadness and also so much joy.
You truly are a shining star amongst your incredible, cancernaut, floating family. Thank you for your incredible words which generously help us even try to empathise with your journey, your fellowship. You are my inspiration. Love you xx
Love you too dear person. It feels so important to share my experience and help us all both protect ourselves and help one another other. The written word is certainly a clearer route for me than talking. 🤍🪐⭐️
Thank you so much for reading and reaching out Christina. Yes us cancernauts unite to support one another and to raise awareness and campaign for more research. And we keep on shining. With love to you xx
You are such a shining light my friend. You have extra inner twinkle! We named a star after my mum all those years ago so your writing was so special to read. Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts. Sending lots of love 🥰
Thank you, Mel. I'm SO glad we're connected now. Your words are especially touching ahead of a dear friend's funeral. Another Cancernaut. Thank you for capturing the slightly surreal nature of the journey.
Ah thank you for reading Victoria - the connections through Substack sustain me. I hope your dear friend’s funeral celebrates all that they were and all that is felt. ✨🪐🤍
Simply beautiful and poignant. There have been too many shooting stars recently but there is always the flicker of hope. Thank you for sharing your gift of writing. 🤍
Orbital is my current read, and your piece - also beautiful and elegant - instantly connected with that in my mind as I read. Thank you for helping us to connect and empathise with planet cancer and all you brave and intrepid cancernauts.

Thank goodness for the written word, for your words, that allow all of us that know and love you to walk with you, if only on the page.
I wish it could be always ❤️
Thank you my lovely you. On the page, it’s quiet and still for the writer and reader I guess. Space to process and understand. 🪐
I love Cancernaut as a title and plan to adopt it for my stage 4 life. Your writing is beautiful. Xx
That’s so kind. Cancernaut is better than patient I feel. Sending love ❤️
