I'M A LOCAL RADIO STAR!

It's been an interesting day!
On Monday I joined a live phone-in on our local radio station - BBC Radio Berkshire
It was a discussion about Sir Terry Pratchett's ideas on setting up tribunals to decide whether individuals with terminal diseases and their relatives might be given the legal right to terminate their lives. Sir Terry has Alzheimers.
As a result of what I said they decided they wanted me to do a live interview on our situation. They wanted me to comment on what it's like to be a carer and what I thought about funding for research and about support for carers. A reporter from the BBC brought a 'box of tricks' so I could do a studio quality interview from home this morning.
THEN - as a result of the interview a reporter from the station wanted to interview me about my own story of healing from cancer. So if you go to www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire you can read what she wrote!
