Also Lyn...... but special mention to Mrs Sherone Brown....
She was volunteering in the chemo ward the Wednesday I had my first chemo. I had left our young children 2 and 4 at home and travelled for my appointment.
She was a breath of fresh air as she walked in... (at the time I assumed she was just a tea lady and had nothing to offer me but a cup of tea:( how wrong was I !!
Whilst she did offer me tea, she also inspired me and gave me hope a a future. she told me that she too had had breast cancer and also had young children at home and was now doing well and living life well. She gave me hope that I would be Ok and after all treatment was over I too could have a life. She looked fabulous and I admired her beautiful curly hair.
HOPE is such an important thing when going through treatment. I also suggested to Amanda Winiata that she contact Sherone and ask her to become a community liason officer (which she did and Sherone is inspirating others still with BCNA too).
Sherone inspired me to inspire others too and so my "pay if forward" approach helps many in my community too.
Thankyou Sherone and thankyou BCNA for giving women like Lyn and Sherone the credit they so deserve.
