October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💕
This week, I went back to the Wesley for a check-up on the lumps in my breasts. I first discovered them a few years ago, during a time when I had concerns about my implants. Since then, my doctors and I have kept a close eye on them.
This time, I was lucky to walk away with good news — no new lumps, and the existing ones haven’t changed. A huge relief. Let me tell you though my thoughts began to spiral sitting in that waiting room.
But I’m fully aware that not every woman gets to leave that room with the same outcome.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Australian women, with around 21,000 cases each year — that’s roughly 1 in 7 women. Behind every statistic is someone’s mother, sister, aunt, daughter, grandmother, or friend — each facing their own deeply personal fight. 💞
This post is a gentle reminder: check yourself. Know your body. Don’t delay your check-ups. Early detection truly can save lives.
To the women currently in the fight — we see you. We stand with you. Your strength, your courage, and your stories do not go unnoticed. 💗
Let’s use this month to raise awareness, support one another, and remind the women in our lives how important their health is. Every scan, every check-up, every conversation matters.
Together, we rise. 🎗
