🖤Melanoma is type of skin cancer that starts in the pigment producing cells of our skin, the ones that give our skin it’s colour. 🖤 These cells grow deeper into the layers of our skin and have the ability to migrate to other parts of the body, spreading the cancer, making melanoma one of the most serious types of skin cancer. 🖤 Knowing what to look out for and detecting melanomas early is of great importance.
It is NOT ‘just skin cancer’ 🖤.

🖤 MAY IS MELANOMA AWARENESS MONTH 🖤

This awareness month lies incredibly close to my heart this year as just one month ago my partner was diagnosed with a melanoma after a routine check up at the dermatologist.

From the initial diagnosis to having the mole removed, to awaiting test results to undergoing surgery, it has all been a very strong reminder that it is NOT ‘just skin cancer.’

Melanoma is seen as the most dangerous form of skin cancer and it’s early detection and treatment is vitally important.

I will be sharing more information on Melanoma during the month of May

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, ‘I’ll try again tomorrow.’” — Mary Anne Radmacher

🌸 Breast Cancer Awareness month 🌸

A huge part of our role as physiotherapists is education. Educating our patients, the public and ourselves so that we may be better clinicians.

I had a conversation with a patient recently that shed a completely different light on the topic of awareness months and the ‘other side’ of the impact they make.

What my patients have taught me, directly and indirectly, since starting in the oncology field has been invaluable and so often incredibly humbling and I hope to head into October with more perspective.

💛 childhood cancer 💛

September is childhood cancer awareness month.

800-1000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in SA.

Most common cancers are:
💛Leukaemias
💛Lymphomas
💛Brain/Nervous system
💛Nephroblastomas
💛Sarcomas

It is estimated that up to 50% of children go undiagnosed due to lack of awareness resulting in less successful treatment as often cancers are only diagnosed after they have metastasised (spread to other parts of the body).

What to look out for:

🩺 loss of energy
🩺 easy bruising or bleeding
🩺 ongoing pain in an area of the body
🩺 fever or illness that doesn’t go away
🩺 vision changes
🩺 persistent headaches
🩺 lump or swelling

Every 3 minutes a family gets the devastating news that their child has cancer.

Sending love to the most incredible, bravest little heroes and their families

📝 SETTING INTENTIONS 📝

I’ve always been one to take the week as it comes, trying to ensure I get the most important things done and hoping I remember the rest.

I was gifted this little book for Christmas and I’ve really enjoyed making use of it.

Spending a few moments on a Monday to actually put down some goals, having them in black and white makes me feel more accountable when it comes to achieving them, to set my priorities and also to look back at the week and offer up a bit of gratitude and self reflection.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week

🤍
