I 2nd That Second Amendment Pro Gun American Patriotic Shirt
The woman explained that she knew exactly what the runner was going through and had taken off a little silver butterfly pendant she was wearing. Giving it to my friendly runner, the woman in the cafe said it was a butterfly of hope, to keep the faith that life would be better than ever on the other side of cancer.
The runner told me she had been wearing the necklace for three years but now it was time to pass it on. We stopped and she took off the necklace and put it around my neck, saying it was now my butterfly of hope. In time I could pass it on myself but, for now, it would help me stay positive. We had a hug and a few tears and then she was off. I never even knew her name.
I was so moved by this act of kindness, and so touched by the solidarity of all the amazing women in the race, that I felt I had to write about it, once my treatment was over.
But there was still a long way to go. It wasn’t until the end of July that I finished all the appointments and the doctors gave me the all-clear. The long road to recovery could begin — helped by the running gang and our monthly curry night and the WhatsApp banter.
They were the first to cheer me on when I announced I was writing a novel called The Cancer Ladies’ Running Club — because they, like me, feel strongly that we need to talk about our experiences.
With one in eight women getting breast cancer, it’s a subject that affects many of us and yet seldom do we hear a positive tale. The truth is, with the excellent treatments we have nowadays, many women like us are not just surviving but thriving.
I’ve dedicated the book to my running pals, of course, though it is very much a work of fiction.
It is story about how, sometimes, all it takes to turn your world around is putting on a pair of trainers and getting out into the sunshine. It’s a story about the power of positivity and how, so often, it’s our friends that help us find our feet.
Josie Lloyd’s novel inspired by her experiences, The Cancer Ladies’ Running Club (£8.99, HQ), is out on Thursday.
