Instagram Fam?!

Hi all :) I was just wondering if anyone else is sharing their Breast Cancer journey over on Instagram? I set up a page recently as I want to spread awareness about the realities of treatment & survivorship.

I didn't quite have it in me as I went through the first part of my treatment (2 x surgeries, chemo & rads) to share as I went, but now i'm in the next phase (Ribociclib for 3 years + Zoladronic Acid 6 monthly + a bunch of other meds from side effects) I am starting to share more & recount my experiences. It's been lovely to connect with others as well. 

If anyone would like to follow you can find me at @breastcancerbanter

  • Well done SarahB77​   It makes it so much easier to share your updates in the one go rather than telling the story over & over, individually! 

    Some members set up a private FB group & put updates there, or a 'web blog' and only shared the website with those they wanted ....

    I just sent 'bulk' emails to family & friends for both my husband's cancer updates and mine - I'm not even sure if Instagram was 'available' back then! LOL (and I wasn't a member!)

    All the best for your ongoing treatment xx

  • I've just given you a follow. I am so keen to share my journey but don't want to make it all about me, rather I want to share my journey to help others.  Thank you for sharing yours.
