Just caught up with the article, well said. It was a delight to meet you today in person, hope the weather is kind tomorrow.

@tigerbeth @Sister @Janny54 @Jane221 @Flaneuse @Sarnicad @Michelle_R @poodlejules @kezmusc @Finch @iserbrown @primek @BlackWidow @Afraser Thank you all very much for your kind words.

Seriously, I couldn't have done it without you all and this forum. I've shared here about my conscious decision to be open and honest about the warts (figuratively not literally thank goodness!) and all of this experience in the hope that it could help people coming behind. When the BCNA asked me to write my story it seemed like a natural extension of what I've done, what many of us do here. I know I was asked because my story is more dramatic than many and so can cut through. But I hope I was able to honour our shared experience.

I had no idea the paper was going to go so big with my story. It was quite a shock.

@Michelle_R That's exactly why I did it, in the hope that someone would stop putting off getting that weird lump checked out.

@Finch @Flaneuse Ditto

@tigerbeth Likewise! Happy to call you my friend too

Absolutely knackered! What a day. K xox

WOW! AWESOME article, Kate. So well written, articulate and even some humour included! Well done. xxx

All the best for tomorrow - give Annie a big hug from me - and any others of my BCNA buddies (I've forgotten who else is attending already!

DUH!) xx

@kmakm, what a compelling read that so many of us can relate too. You family has been tragically associated with this awful disease too many times. Good on you for sharing your story warts and all.
Enjoy tomorrow it will surely be an emotional day for all.
Hugs

@kmakm. Reading your story was just truly inspirational. You put your heart and soul out there for all to read and it was bloody amazing. You’re right about this forum I found it by accident and have never looked back. I’ve made some awesome new friends from it and I hope I’ve been able to give some suppprt comfort and advice to you all as you have done for me. It’s certainly been one of the perks to this shitty disease that’s for sure. Biggest hug Kate. Xxx
