Days Like These by Sue Tredget

There's nothing quite like a cancer diagnosis during a global pandemic to make you realise what matters.

Seven years after emerging from a deep depression, Sue Tredget faces another health crisis. Only this time it's different. When she was depressed, she didn't want to be alive. When she finds out she has cancer, life seems like the most beautiful gift.

Armed with her sparkling sense of humour and fighting spirit, Sue decides to write her way through this very personal battle. She has no idea how her story will end but is determined that cancer will not define her, nor steal her joy.

As she embarks on a gruelling treatment regime, while grappling with lockdowns and the pain of separation from loved ones, Sue resolves to nourish her spirit and take one day at a time. She draws strength from the love of friends and family, adopts the mantra just keep walking and immerses herself in the coastal landscapes of Western Australia, marvelling at the healing power of nature.

Sue's ability to see humour in the most challenging circumstances and find wonder when she least expects it is an inspiration to us all. With its beguiling interplay between darkness and light, laughter and tears, and everything in between, Days Like These is a joyous celebration of life and an uplifting testament to the power of the human spirit.

This candid and compelling memoir offers hope and solace to anyone going through tough times, and reminds us to cherish every moment.

Tredget, Sue: - Sue Tredget grew up in Northern Ireland and now lives in Western Australia with her husband, two boys and her cavoodle, Ellie. She began writing during a year off from her job as a language teacher in 2014, after which she returned to teaching on a more flexible basis so that she could continue writing and pursue her other interests. These include travel, particularly to France, Italy and Spain, and working as a volunteer Speaker/Ambassador for the not-for-profit organisation beyondblue to raise awareness about mental health, increase community understanding and help break down stigma. Sue has also written Transformation, which is soon to be published, a collection of poems to heal and replenish the spirit and a series of children's picture books. She enjoys writing reflective articles which she posts on her website www.suetredget.com, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the natural world, her daily observations of the little things in life, and her travels.
