Out in paperback 6th August 2009 It's Mummy here
Ex-Casualty actress Rebekah was just thirty-four years old and seven months pregnant After twice being examined by doctors and having been told that it was nothing to worry about, Rebekah pushed it from her mind and concentrated on the birth of her beautiful daughter. But one night, whilst nursing her baby, Rebekah realised she could still feel the lump. And it was bigger. Finally, her worst fears were confirmed: just ten weeks after giving birth, Rebekah was told that she had a fast-growing grade three cancer. And that it had spread. It was the beginning of a journey to hell and back. Instead of enjoying her baby’s smiles, Rebekah found herself preparing for aggressive chemotherapy by cutting off her waist-length hair before it fell out and ordering wigs and fake eyelashes. Facing a potentially terminal illness is the most terrible thing to contemplate, but for Rebekah, dying and leaving behind her beloved baby was never an option and now she has embarked on the fight of her life. This isn’t just a book about the horror of cancer. In 2004 Rebekah Gibbs became a household name when she landed the part of Nina Farr, a feisty paramedic in the popular BBC show, Casualty. In 2006 Rebekah left Casualty to spend more time with her partner and the pair were delighted when their daughter Gigi was born in February 2008.
