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.
I’m starting off this week’s round-up with a beautiful reflection from Elizabeth on finding meaning and creating moments of self-care in the midst of life’s stresses and sadnesses.
I had a bad experience with my oncologist, so I found it very interesting to read Nancy‘s latest post on what to reasonably expect and want from our oncologist.

Lovely posts on Cancer Carer Chats and My Triple Negative Life on how memories are made.

Elaine reports on the latest study on mammography screening.

Stephanie writes in her latest post on the topic of elusive nature of post-cancer treatment solutions.
Finally, this week let me leave you with some words of encouragement from AnneMarie
No matter what your space or place, Focus Forward. We can’t undo the past, life offers no opportunity to redo things for which we may have regrets. But, life does allow us to learn and build upon our experiences and blaze our own trails.
I Am Enough. And So Are YOU.
Until next week,
Yours with much love always

Hi! I am starting a blog “Creating Life Kreatively” – looking at life through the lens of a TNBC survivor. I hope to have it full of info that has helped me, photos I take, and other things as well. I’d love to have y’all along for the journey. Everyone’s point of view is so wonderful to hear…

Thanks for including the male perspective Marie. We’re only one percent of new cases, but public awareness that we get this disease too is so low that men are blindsided by their later diagnoses and therefore their prognoses are generally worse.
