Weekly Round-Up
Time for this week’s round-up of the best blog posts I’ve read over the past week. These posts touched me, taught me something, and inspired me, so I wanted to share them with you. Remember, if you’ve written a post you’d like readers to see, just leave a comment.
Abigail has been reflecting on discovering her Enneagram type (8w7) and the subsequent realization that female 8s, like her, are often misunderstood. In her latest post, she dives into societal expectations for women and the impact of growing up in a conservative environment. She also shares her experience with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, emphasizing the fear of vulnerability and control issues.
This week, Carolyn writes about the role of health journalists in making individuals who feel overlooked feel acknowledged.
Becky shares some better news this week.
Good news also from METUPUK who are delighted by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) decision to recommend Talazoparib (Talzenna ®, Pfizer Ltd.) for treating HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with germline
Chris‘ latest post discusses evidence-based approaches to maximize cancer survivorship in the UK.
Georgia writes about uncertainty being a constant companion following her diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome. Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome that increases the risk of various cancers.
A warm welcome back to the blogosphere to Gogs who shares advice on what you need to know after a cancer diagnosis.
In a post that certainly resonates with me, Terri discusses the rewards and risks of traveling for patient advocacy.
Connie writes this week about learning to accept each day as it comes.
Barbara is celebrating her 16th year of blogging.
Finally this week, many people (myself included) neglect self-care. As Beth points out, society’s emphasis on constant work, coupled with mental health stigmas, hinders individuals from prioritizing their well-being. So I leave you with a reminder from Beth of the value of enriching hobbies in alleviating anxiety and depression and a peak at her newest fabulous painting.
Until next week,
Yours with much love always
