Weekly Round-Up

Time for this week’s round-up of the best blog posts I’ve read over the past week. These posts have moved me, taught me something, inspired me, and I’ve wanted to share them with you. Don’t forget that if you have written a post you want readers to see, just leave a comment below.

“There’s no training or blueprint for how to interact with the healthcare system successfully as a patient,” writes Abigail, “especially not those of us who have some really complicated health issues.” She offers some of the hard-won experiences she has gathered over the last six years of living with MBC in her latest post.

Carolyn shares six reasons women delay seeking help during a heart attack.

Fascinating Diep C Journey podcast episode on democratization (the action of making training and education available through technology) in microsurgery as it pertains to breast reconstruction.  

A post on immunotherapy response monitoring in patients with breast cancer on the SBC blog.

Rod writes about finding online support for individuals living with Stage IV breast cancer.

Martha shares how she turned FOMO into JOMO.

A question from Barbara this week, what do you think of yourself after a breast cancer diagnosis?

Jennifer writes about the challenges of Stage 0 breast cancer.

Finally, if you’re feeling exhausted by life’s travails for whatever reason this week, be gentle with yourself and take a leaf from Sarah‘s book:

I’m radically resting. I’m forgiving myself for being exhausted. I’m embracing the horizontal.

Until next week,

Yours with much love always
