Oh it's amazing at the Hospice. It's the fact that when you come in, you're welcomed and you’re just treated with compassion and care, and it’s everything about it really.

This is total care. Total care. If I was doing this job or somebody I knew was doing this job, I'd be proud because I think that they do an amazing job. It's with compassion, it's just definite care. You don't have to ask for anything really, they’re always one step ahead.

I've got relapsed breast cancer. It wasn’t a surprise at all. I took my last dose of chemotherapy tablets on 1st December and then I went on holiday. I knew on holiday that something wasn't right, I'd guessed then. Everything was just getting more of a struggle. When I got back, I had my sign off oncology appointment and said look, I don't feel well, I think something is wrong. So they did a scan and I knew then straight away that it was relapse, and I knew what that meant; I knew that wasn't going to be curable.

I had two hospital admissions and after the second, I came to the Hospice. The bucket list was already underway after the scan showed a relapse, but I'd already had an idea in my head of bits and pieces I wanted to do. I'd already got my will sorted out because I was always convinced that it was going to come back. I'd already planned my funeral; it's going to be a complete shocker! I'm going completely off piste, it's going to be completely radical, that's the plan.

I've got quite a dark sense of humour so I don't mind talking about the fact that I'm dying and what the funeral is going to be like and all those sort of things. It doesn't bother me because I know it's inevitable and it's just how long I can carry on really; as long as possible.
