Podcasts are awesome!
Hi there Gail here. This is my first post. I was diagnosed on 24 May (7 weeks ago today) and had surgery 2 weeks later on 7 June. I start radiotherapy on 29 July. After that, on to hormone blockers, which I am most definitely not looking forward to. The past 7 weeks have been a whirlwind and it is only this week that I have felt up to starting to access some of the resources on BCNA's amazing website. I have been listening to the Upfront podcast series 'What You Don't Know Until You Do' and am up to episode 7 of season 1. Based on the first 6 episodes, I cannot recommend highly enough. So insightful, engaging and comforting. I find myself constantly nodding my head because much of the discussion resonates so strongly with my cancer experience to date. It's nice to be able to make some sense of it all and to know I'm not alone. Cheers, Gail 🥳
Hope and cancerversary
It’s my 2 year cancerversary today 🎉. I’m in a really good place within myself, without comparison to how I felt right after my diagnosis, and even before it. I guess I hope I continue to work on myself, so I can be content with life as it is, with reduced stress, and cancer free 🤞🍀💟. I have mostly moved on, but choose to celebrate being healthy every year and my appreciation of life ♥️. M Xxx

Each day I am learning to live a better day, still learning, learning to "let go", "to accept", "to be free of guilt", "fearful" .... I will get there, we will get there. Just a small step at a time.
