Weekly Round Up
Time for this week’s round-up of the best of the blog posts which I’ve read over the past week. These are the posts that have moved me, taught me something, inspired me, and which I’ve wanted to share with you. Don’t forget if you have written a post which you would like readers to see, just leave a comment below.
This week I have been totally transported to another world, to a healing place, a beautiful escape, courtesy of Philippa.
Why do we as women judge each other so harshly? Great question debated this week by Nancy’s Point.
Renn has been reading Gayle Sulik’s Pink Ribbon Blues and pondering on the true nature of what it means to be a cancer survivor – something Katie is also reflecting on as she reaches a milestone in her cancer journey.
Kathi has been MIA from the blogosphere recently, but this week she has come back with a bang with an insightful and cogent piece on the recent discussion on reclassifying early-stage cancer.
The reality of metastatic cancer is unflinchingly portrayed this week by Scorchy, Lisa, Lori and Knot Telling.
An honest and tender account of the ups and downs of a marriage by Elizabeth.
A striking image and reflection on grief on Jamie’s blog.
Beth is tackling the issue of trust, or rather mistrust in her blog.
Finally, my thoughts are very much with our lovely friend Catherine as she gets the results of her recent biopsy. Catherine we are all holding you and Zsolt in our hearts right now.
Until next week.
Yours with love

Thanks, Marie! And to think I wrote that nearly 2 years ago…and not much has changed. I read with some hope of research into identifying biomarkers in DCIS lesions that may be truly predictive of potential development into invasive tumors. It will come down to better pathology, better screening tools & more cohesive protocols for monitoring.
My heart goes out to Cathering. Love to you. Kathi

Thanks for the wonderful round-up once again, Marie. I did post something this past week to let everyone know I’m still on the planet and am coping as best I can. I hope you are enjoying your summer on the Emerald Isle. xoxo

Great round up Marie. My heart goes out to Catherine. My heart also goes to Scorchy, Lisa, Lori, and Knot Telling for what they are having to go through with metastatic breast cancer especially in each of their posts this week. I also found all of the other posts very thought provoking. Thank you for bringing all of this together for us.I am also hoping all is well with you. Hugs and xoxo – Susan

Thanks for another nice Roundup. I enjoyed this leisurely Sunday morning visiting Phillppa, Nancy and Renn and will try and get to some of the others. BTW, your Roundup didn’t make it into my e-mail inbox this time, Marie. I saw it on FB.

The round up is such a highlight for me, thank you again for putting it together. And thank you for thinking of me too. I won’t get the results till the 13th of Aug. I’m taking this week as a vacation from all that stuff – though of course it’s always there in my mind. But at least this week is my own. Be well, Marie. Now I’m off to read some blog posts! 🙂 ~Catherine
