Overview

""HUGE GUILT THAT I AM A SURVIVOR"" The cancer's gone. The treatment is over. The scans are clear. So why does everything still feel so... hard? In Me, Bea, Cancer Free, Helen Bullen returns with her signature wit and truth-telling to share the brutally honest, sometimes hilarious, often heart breaking reality of life after cancer. The world expects her to bounce back. To smile more. To be grateful. But nobody handed her a guidebook for navigating survivor's guilt, exploding boobs at airport security (almost), or being told at passport control that she doesn't look like her old self. And then there's Bea, her one remaining boob, trying her best to hold the fort, shoulder the bra, and carry the emotional load that Agnes left behind. This is not a tale of tidy endings. It's a story of scars both physical and emotional and the slow process of rediscovering life after a diagnosis. With her Kindly Blunt style, Helen reminds readers they're not alone, they're not crazy, and they don't have to ""move on"" before they're ready. Because life after cancer isn't the epilogue. It's a whole new damn book. ___________________________________________________________________________ This book is the follow-up to Helen's first, Agnes, Bea, Cancer and Me, which shares her struggles, fears, humour, and anger in the face of a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis. Through chemotherapy, surgery to remove Agnes, and the relief of hearing ""no sign of cancer ""Helen thought her journey was over. But, as it turns out, her story was far from finished...

Author Information

Helen Bullen is many things: a straight talking business mentor, a retired award winning osteopath, a best selling author, and most recently, a breast cancer survivor with a stubborn streak and a sense of humour that not even chemo could crush.With over 20 years of experience running her own successful businesses in both bricks-and-mortar clinics and online, Helen knows a thing or two about building something from the ground up. She is the founder of HBClub, HBInspired and the HBRetreat, where she helps business owners cut through the noise, get real about their goals and take action. No fluff, no faffing, no excuses. Her philosophy is simple: you can achieve anything when you commit to it. And yes, she means anything.In 2021, life threw Helen one of its biggest curveballs when she was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative breast cancer. What followed was months of treatment, multiple surgeries and a fierce determination to not just survive but thrive. She wrote her first cancer memoir, ""Agnes, Bea, Cancer and Me"", to share the raw, real and occasionally ridiculous realities of life with cancer. Now, in her follow up book ""Me, Bea, Cancer Free"", she explores life after treatment, the unexpected challenges of getting back to normal and what it really means to move forward when nothing feels the same.These days Helen lives her version of the good life. She works the hours she chooses, mentors the people she genuinely loves to help and says yes to what brings her joy and no to everything else. Her story is one of grit, grace and a whole lot of humour, and she shares it to support others who are navigating their own after cancer journey.You will also find her, coffee in hand, cheering others on because if she has learned anything, it is that life is too short not to go after what matters most.
