about me

I believe we should all be free to make our own decisions. This put me in the firing line when I was going on TV and radio when my first book 'Out Here On My Own' came out, a week after the wife of a Family Court judge had been blown up on her doorstep.
Now my 'big' cause is helping other people who've had cancer - which almost killed me in 2001 - and show health professionals how better to relate with their patients.
I'm a mother and grandmother and love life.

I'll have to think about that - I love so many.

Cancer - A Journey

Beryl Shaw

Cancer changes everything. Follow my 'lyrical moments in time from the heart of one of life's greatest adventures' across my first year after emergency surgery.


When a surgeon brings you through emergency cancer surgery alive, by the skin of your teeth, you end up asking yourself lots of questions. So do your loved ones, because they are threatened too.
I give you here the reality of my first year after that event. The up days. The down days. And the power and strength that's to be found when you face life and cancer head on.
The strong find my writing reminds them just how powerful they are. Those who haven't faced a lot before find that, surprise surprise, they can move forward with strength now they're being asked to.
Some people are surprised when I find humour amidst the dross of difficulty, but that's what we do isn't it? And life is an adventure. I live every moment now more fully than ever before.
