Come see me in WEST END LONDON with Onscreen Onstage at
@CentralPictureH
@CosmicCatFilms
it’s a film then a stand up show right in the heart of Soho tickets here
when I got married in 1980 one of husbands old aunts took me aside and said “be a good wife and do sex on demand”
Me “what if he can’t keep up with my demands do I take a lover?”
She never spoke to me EVER again
On my first day of waking up from the hysterectomy, a wee lady NHS carer walked me to the toilet on shaky legs. She carefully undressed me through wires and tubes, showered and dried my body, then patted my face as I cried on plastic shower seat & said “you’ll be ok hen” i ❤️ NHS
My cancer scan came back clear
My breast screening came back clear
I will never be cured of ovarian cancer but I will continue to be treated for it thanks Scottish NHS and

I am now off to get a glass of champagne
@GrouchoClubSoho
Husband brings me lunch half way through my last chemo (hopefully last ) - the 16 year old boy who asked me to marry him all those years ago, is still here making me laugh during the tough times.
I have ovarian cancer, my cancer is not curable BUT it is treatable and so far my 3 months scans have been clear. There is a 70-90% chance it will return and I will deal with that when it happens but that’s not today. Today I feel good. Thanks
@Beatson_Charity
I am home before treatment starts next Wednesday, I want to thank everyone and I mean EVERYONE who has sent me good wishes, this is some love ❤️ going out to everyone faced with a terrifying diagnosis- can’t thank the NHS in Glasgow enough for their kindness.
It’s
@Ashleystorrie
here. Mum is out of surgery and is in recovery. Her time in the operating theatre went relatively well, and a full hysterectomy was achieved. Bunty has left the building.
Thank you so much for all your kind words, positive thoughts and prayers.
Sorry but my last weekend of the tour can’t go ahead in Edinburgh and Musselburgh as I am in hospital with ovarian cancer - look after each other

People saying they can’t see my tweets - if you can see this tweet please like or let me know, I am missing so many people as well and seem to have folk I don’t follow in my timeline !
The constant fear of waking up in anxiety, the horrible knowledge that cancer will be a part of my life until I die now is overwhelming, I accept I must be brave but is bravery simply being alive and pushing down all the fears to get through the next hour? I’m scared
I have a Facebook pal from the old days in my pub screaming about “am not taking a vaccine, you don’t know what’s in it” this is the same guy who used to buy ecstasy pills off a one eyed guy called Ganga Gary.
Four years ago today, I stood at Turnberry with a sign that even the cops couldn’t argue with. As Trump exited his helicopter in the background and I stood firm. I was on Scottish Land ( the pavement) not Trump property so they couldn’t move me.

I don’t care how Madonna looks at 64 - that’s her business and up to her - I am just glad to be alive at 62 - I draw my eyebrows on with a pencil and watch my hair slowly fall out with the chemo but fuck it am alive
My mum was abused, attacked and finally murdered by a man who didn’t dress as a woman to carry out his crime. As a child I was raped and abused by a man who didn’t need to dress as a woman to get access to me. Stop trying to tell me to be scared of trans people
Hello friends,
@ashleystorrie
here again. Have spoken to mum this morning, she’s sore and feeling a wee bit overwhelmed but has been showered, moved about a bit and had some lunch. She sounds much stronger. Thank you again for all your love, it means so much to both of us.
Scan tomorrow - I am scared but there’s nothing I can do to change the outcome, I have a terminal illness and living from scan to scan, chemo to chemo is the best way I can cope. Also I have a radio series to get busy on and a new book to start writing
Tomorrow I am back at the Beatson cancer clinic to see how my bloods are doing, so my cancer marker is up and platelets are down, I am scared, never brave, always terrified and I will live like this until I don’t. But I will also smile.
I am about to go through chemotherapy, so my family will continue to wear masks, stand two Alsatians apart, minimise people coming into contact with us and keep me safe
Imagine saying you hate a woman so much you want her paraded naked in the street so you could throw shit at her. I mean… what the Fuck is going on here? Who dreams this stuff and who prints it in a newspaper with glee?
My last night with my womb, we are having a pre op “hen party” I have been drawing Fallopian tubes on cards and pin the tumour on the ovary, we’re having cocktails of flat water and tomorrow at 7am I am off - thank you Scottish NHS and everyone here for lifting me up
Today in 1996 a man walked into a Scottish school and shot dead 16 wee kids and a brave teacher.
We created strict gun laws and a mass school shooting has never happened since in Scotland.
Sending peace and love to all the families of the Dunblane massacre today X
Just want to tell everyone reading this who sent me love, your kindness & utter generosity pulled me through the darkest of times during this cancer diagnosis. From gifts posted to me, to people buying tickets to my tour, to just YOU reading this who sent me kind words. Thanks
Sending everyone a hopeful, peaceful loving Christmas Eve vibe. I am spending mine close to my loved ones and my wee dug and blocking abusive GC tweeters and not arguing back so I don’t have to see hatred at this time. Look after each other❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏳️⚧️
Can we stop having royals and politicians using foodbanks as a photo opportunity? I can’t imagine how foodbank users must feel when they see people who live in castles and massive houses fingering their cheap no frills pasta as they grin at the camera - just stop it
someone is playing “White Christmas” on the chemo ward and now I am sitting here crying. Of all the places I thought I would be at this time of year, this isn’t one of them. Facing my life shortened by ovarian cancer and having all these nostalgic memories of Christmas past.
This time last year I was desperately low and had contemplated ending my life. I didn’t know stage 3 ovarian Cancer was about to arrive, I was unaware of my condition and went on tour and was overwhelmed with the love and support out there. It’s been a long year - thanks everyone
I have terminal cancer, I will never have the all clear, like millions of people I am living with a life limiting disease but I am receiving treatment and today I got a clear scan - I get scans every three months -thanks
@Beatson_Charity
and Scottish NHS and thanks to everyone
Trolls are really, really obsessed with slagging off my hair - I think it’s great! Apparently I am either now “gay” or a “cat owner” suppose that chemo has super powers 😂
My mum was killed by her ex boyfriend in 1982 - she was found in the River Clyde after going for a walk with him- today would have been her birthday - I miss you Annie Currie you’ll always be my mammy.
43 years ago today a 16yr old boy gave me a diamond ring and asked me to marry him - we were just teenagers in 1979 - he’s lying here with hiccups in his sleep cuddling my head
Today 38 years ago they found her body in the water.
My mum was murdered by her on/off boyfriend Peter Greenshields a violent ex convict in 1982.
He’d attacked her before.
This time he threw her in the River Clyde.
Her name was Annie Currie and I won’t forget her
Seen on FB, This weekend at
@lochlomondshore
this wee brave girl did her dance and I am here for all her achievements - she fell down and got up again so quickly and carried on. A life lesson for us all, I don’t know her name so I can’t credit her in the Lomond Shores video ❤️❤️
I’m scared of 2024
I’m worried that the more time I get the less I have left
That’s what cancer does to your anxiety
Sending you all love and hope today
Walking with husband and pushing the wee dog in the pram through the west end. He stops, bends double, I thought he was being sick. He was crying. In the street. The man who stays quiet “I will miss you so much, just simple things like waking home after a coffee” I hate cancer
The people in wheelchairs and the families standing out in the cold on Christmas Day to watch the Royals just simply walk past them going to church - I just don’t understand and maybe i am not meant to
Up early for bloods before number six chemo tomorrow - it’s the last in this cycle and hopefully the last ever ( fingers crossed)

Just waiting on scan results - my cancer is terminal not curable, but treatable, i will never ring the “all clear” bell, but I will try to keep living as long as I can - there is no “fight” I am a coward who cries most days. Ovarian cancer is a silent killer, know the symptoms
So the news is my CA125 number is creeping up but I have a scan on Friday which will reveal more but my cancer specialist seems optimistic that all will be well. We can wait and see thanks everyone for your support
Second chemo done - thank you Scottish NHS and all at Beatson
@Beatson_Charity
I am donating all profits to them for my the shows at Kings Theatre on 18/19 March- all my friends performing for me for free - see pinned tweet
I will tell you want gets me, waking up from a great dream and realising I still have cancer and so many treatments to go through and knowing my life expectancy is cut short- the feeling is like a someone dropping a brick on your chest. But I’ll keep going till I can’t
I felt so exhausted a few weeks ago, thought I would never recover from chemo, turns out it was low haemoglobin- got a blood transfusion and felt great and now back at hospital tomorrow to see if scan results are in and to discuss moving forward with maintenance meds
This is the tomb of Rudolph Nureyev, the great Russian dancer. The grave was designed to look like a carpet, but it's made entirely of bronze and glass.
My scan came back and it’s clear this time, which is good news but bear in mind my peritoneum/ ovarian cancer is incurable, it’s treatable and I am over the moon my body is responding to the weekly chemo so far. Until the next time cancer… but not today
