carolynheldoncreates is a place of healing from cancer through handcrafts, creativity and sharing my personal stories.

The story of how Hector the Horrible upended my life.

My life went from excitement at graduating with a Bachelors of Dementia Care, (after three years of full time study), to getting a new job to being diagnosed with breast cancer.  All in a month!!!

​

This blog was written for two years, chronicling my life as I navigated cancer, treatments and life during this time.  I am still navigating and being treated and dealing.  Some days are ok, some are shit.  I am writing a book now so stay tuned.  Release date hopefully November, 2025.
