The inspirational memoir through the founder from the You, Me and the Big C podcast, Rachael Bland. Courageous and life-affirming, that is a mother’s last present to her son.

My beautiful son, I therefore wish which i didn’t have to leave you right now. But believe me, I tried EVERYTHING I could to stay around for you personally, and for each and every moment I could eke out of the life. In the outset, it was not a good fight. My tumor was too big, and too intense, and we didn’t start on a level playing field. You had been about For Freddie: A Mother’s Last Present to Her Son fourteen months aged and at the start I was so full of fierce intention that we could get previous this. I would lay you in your cot each night and silently communicate from my brain to yours, ‘I can do this Freddie, I’ll gladly take whatever they throw at me if this means we are able to stay collectively’.

In 2016, precious broadcaster and journalist Rachael Bland was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly afterwards she made the fearless decision to share her story, and she spoke with gorgeous poignancy through her blog and podcast, You, Me and the Big C.

Having been told that she only acquired a matter of months still left to live and writing this in what were sadly her last days, Rachael provides her warmth, courage and humour to the page in this heart-warming and heart-breaking story. Component memoir, part tips, For Freddie superbly encapsulates the elegance and fearlessness in which Rachael lived her life. This is her legacy and an incredible final present to her kid.
