I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2015, three months before my 60th birthday. I consider myself very lucky that it was caught early, through a routine mammogram. I have had a lumpectomy and one lymph node removed (which was clear) and am shortly to start 4 weeks radiation. Every morning I wake up grateful for my…
This time last week I was in the hospital with a partially collapsed lung and chest drain. Today, I participated in The Color Run and thoroughly enjoyed myself. This is me at the half way mark before I really got covered with colour and glitter. I am also really proud of my medal even though due to my recent complications…

Hello Pink family, Feb 10th I'm having brain surgery. Shit scared but will of course pitch up. They wanted it next week but one of my daughters is getting married on 31 Jan which is pretty special, then honeymoon and granddaughter needs to be with me. I feel lucky dates are fitting in.

Good morning ladies and gents I've been alerted to the messages and its great to see ideas and thoughts in relation to travelling but more importantly the continued connection we as ABC peoples require to maintain a sense of validation. I loved reading how people coped and what plans they had for their up and coming travel…
