Foreword

I used to think I was invincible...

Then I was told I had a tumour the size of a satsuma growing in my bowel. Suddenly the world as I knew it came to a grinding halt. Cancer was about to launch me into a different stratosphere. I had no idea how much my life, and everything I valued, was about to change.

Before my diagnosis I was what is politely called ‘driven.’ I didn’t stop to consider what I had. I constantly pushed myself on, trying to do better, to earn more. I worked day and night building my publishing company. I had a staff of 28.1 travelled the world and ate meals fashioned by top chefs at the world’s leading restaurants.
