'One of the most inspiring stories I’ve ever read'
Kate Saunders, Sunday Times
'[The Tomlinsons’] honesty is often heartbreaking, but they are also angry, bloody-minded, funny and quite incredibly brave'
Paula Radcliffe

Vanessa Feltz

Radio Times
'Having terminal cancer hasn’t stopped Jane Tomlinson from becoming a superathelete – and an inspiration to us all'
Jane Tomlinson, a mother of three from Leeds, was first diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 26. Despite being given the all clear, in 2000 she learned that the disease had spread to her lungs and bones and there was nothing more the doctors could do. Faced with such devastating news, Jane did not give up. She decided to fight - the life sentence, the disease, and the expectations of living with cancer. Battling fierce pain to complete three London marathons, the Great North Run, and a 2,500 mile bicycle journey 'From Rome to Home', she has raised nearly GBP1million for charity. THE LUXURY OF TIME is Jane's story, told with her husband Mike. It is the story of a marriage, of two ordinary people made extraordinary by the courage with which they face their greatest challenge. They tell, in alternating chapters, what life has been like since 1990 when Jane was first diagnosed, how they coped separately and together, how they told their children, how they deal with the physical and emotional pain. With searing honesty and surprising humour, they write about their fears, hopes and ambitions for an uncertain future.
