Happy first day of Autumn!
Here's your reminder 📆

A quiet little nudge to check in… and remind you to pop a 1st of the month reminder in your calendar.

This photo was taken the morning after a 12-hour surgery.
I sent it to Phil so he knew I was okay… and yes, maybe to show off the new b***s too 😅

But underneath the humour was deep gratitude.
Relief.
And the reality that things could have been very different.

My cancer was NOT picked up in a mammogram.
Only ductal cancer in my right breast showed up in an ultrasound.
Lobular cancer in my left breast was found by chance during an MRI.

That’s why I share this.

Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and boundary setting.
It’s being brave enough to pay attention.
To feel what feels different.
To follow up.
To advocate for yourself.

And this isn’t just for the ladies.
Fellas… you need to be proactive with your health too.

This month, check in.

If something feels off, check it out with your GP.

Early action can change everything.

First of the month.
