Good luck with the book and talk. I found getting involved with Bloodwise, giving talks, and doing various publicity bits really helped my mental recovery

I really know how you feel. I certainly enjoy giving staff induction talks because I think it is so vital to really bring a job role to life and real life. As you say it is not all doom and gloom and I am fascinated by human nature. I felt I was looked at as not just ‘Erica’ but ‘Erica with cancer’ for quite a while. Some people also avoided me, some would put their head on one side and ask me how I was and what hurt the most was the people who started making decisions for me, without asking me what I wanted or could do. I think I could also write a book of anecdotes. Keep writing and letting us know how you get on.
