<p><b>THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br><b><br>The inspirational memoir from the founder of the <i>You, Me and the Big C</i> podcast, Rachael Bland. Courageous and life-affirming, this is a mothers final gift to her son. </b><br><br><i>My beautiful son, I so wish that I didnt have to leave you now. But believe me, I tried EVERYTHING I could to stay around for you, and for every moment I could eke out of this life. </i><i>From the outset, it was not a fair fight. My cancer was too big, and too aggressive, and we didnt start on a level playing field. You were fourteen months old and at the beginning I was so full of fierce intention that we could get past this. I would lay you in your cot each night and silently communicate from my mind to yours, I will do this Freddie, I will gladly take whatever they throw at me if it means we can stay together.</i><br><br> In 2016, beloved broadcaster and journalist <b>Rachael Bland</b> was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly afterwards she made the brave decision to share her story, and she spoke with beautiful poignancy through her blog and podcast, <b><i>You, Me and the Big C</i>. </b><br><br>Having been told that she only had a matter of months left to live and writing this in what were sadly her final days, Rachael brings her warmth, courage and humour to the page in this heart-warming and heart-breaking story. Part memoir, part advice, <i>For Freddie </i>beautifully encapsulates the grace and fearlessness in which Rachael lived her life. This is her legacy and an incredible final gift to her son.<br><br>Includes moving contributions from <b>Richard Bacon</b>, <b>Tony Livesey</b>, <b>Emma Barnett</b>, <b>Shelagh Fogarty</b>, <b>Mark Pougatch</b>, <b>Chris Stark</b> and many more.</p>
