It's bananas but it's true

Wednesday 4th November

One of the treatments for secondary breast cancer on the brain is steroids. I've had a love hate relationship with steroids. Mostly hate.

One of the things I really detested was agonising shooting pains which kept me awake at night and also caused me to call out the emergency doctor on many an occasion. During one of my frequent visits to see the neurologist back in September 2015, she recommended eating a banana before bed every night as it sounded like I needed an intake of potassium. Et voila, problem solved, I've never had the pain again.

This is a great top tip if you're experiencing similar issues.
