"Bridget Jones with Breast Cancer"

Buy the bookTwo years ago I wrote my original review of "The C Word" Lisa Lynch's memoir of early-stage breast cancer. It was a treat of a book with a cupcake on the front. I really enjoyed Lisa's irreverent, Chick-Brit-Lit style of writing.

I continued to follow her cheeky blog. Lisa's cancer became "secondary" moving to bones and brains, and coping with it became the center of her life.

Last year her blog and twitter feed went silent. Last week we got the news Lisa had passed.

Lisa was a pro, she would have been a literary success without cancer, and it was a treat reading her.

There is still a BBC tv movie adaptation on the way, I am so sorry she didn't live to see it.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout
    of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
    or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hello,

    I hope all is well. Healthline just published these inspiring quotes about breast cancer from celebrities who battled the disease. Our audience really enjoyed them and gave us great feedback on how powerful and inspirational they are. You can see them here: http://www.healthline.com/health/breast-cancer/quotes

    I thought they would be of interest to your followers as well, and I wanted to see if you would include it as a resource on your page: http://joinourloop.blogspot.com/

    Please let me know if this would be possible. I’m happy to answer any other questions as well.

    Thanks so much!

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult
    to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you've done a amazing job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
