Hi Ladies

If you are interested, I write a blog called Shine Like Truth. It's a blog I created to talk about my cancer journey and how it's shaped my life everyday since then. You might find it a good read or discover relevant information. As I was going through BC treatment, being a young woman I found the experience somewhat lonely, more so since there weren't too many other women in whom I could relate to. 

The blog is http://melaniedgriffiths.tumblr.com I would love to hear your thoughts.

    Good on you Melanie!

    People automatically think BC only visits older women, your blog is a wake up call to remain vigilant when it comes to your health!

    I initially didn't want to do it, but I too have started a FB page mainly for my family and friends, sending hundreds of texts was getting tiresome!

    I think blogs are an invaluable tool, not only do they help you release but they also can also provide an important insight into what we go through each and every day throughout our experience and dispel some myths and legends that are out there about BC.

    Yes it can seem very lonely at times....funny how you can be in a room full of friends and family and still feel this way! But know we've got your back Melanie! We will march right beside you and get you through this.

    Love and light for easy recovery and beautiful days....
