LUMP

Love Song to the Lost

Listen on

Episode notes

Pen's in a reflective mood, mulling over her response to cancer in her writing...

"As human beings we’re better at expressing the difficult, chewy stuff perhaps, than we are at emoting about how great life is and how happy we are. 

But all those songs aren’t about love, they’re about lost love, they’re like a reverse print of the thing you should actually be looking at.  Flip the heartache on its head and of course the root of it all is the amazing thing that love is.  I feel the same way about writing about my cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery.  It’s all a reverse image."

Searingly honest, heart-breaking, often sweary and laugh out loud funny, LUMP is one woman’s rollercoaster ride through the mind meltdown which comes with learning you have breast cancer. 

Utterly human and compelling, it’s a unique story which will resonate with anyone and everyone who’s ever had a battle with a life changing event in their lives.
