Our lovely Katie girl hits the headlines !!!
Todays Herald Sun has dedicated several pages to the story of @kmakm
if you didn't already know the punishing tale of her recent years , reach for the tissues !
As she continually finds it within herself to help & advise others down this shitty BC track she underplays her strength & tenacity I feel.
You are a wonderful role model for your kids , family & friends & I hope your new normal is found to be happy , fulfilling & a bloody smooth ride .
Happy to call you my friend xx :* <3

- Here here. Can’t agree more. Such a powerful, amazing article. So so proud of you my lovely friend Kate! You totally rock xxx
- @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 - Just caught up with the article, well said. It was a delight to meet you today in person, hope the weather is kind tomorrow.
- Thank you for the link @tigerbeth as I never buy a paper. Congratulations on the write-up, @kmakm - you are an amazing lady. It is one thing to share your story here but quite another to go so public. Best wishes. Anne
- Wonderful article.
- It's huge to put yourself out there for everyone to read your story, warts and all!
- I seriously don't know how I would have coped without this forum.
- Fabulous article Kate , well done ! xxxx
I had tears in my eyes when I read the bit about the BCNA forum , without this forum I think I would have had a much more difficult, different and lonely time travelling through my own breast cancer treatment and beyond. xxx - Well done beautiful lady. Legendary. xoxoxoxo
- Link works, thanks @tigerbeth,cudos @kmakm
