5: Navigating Breast Cancer - with Kristin Swanson

"But good enough is what makes people drink too much and snark too much and become bitter and sick and live in quiet desperation until they lie on their deathbed and wonder: what kind of life/relationship/family/world might I have created if I were braver?" (Glennon Doyle)  

Our health and life as we know is very fragile and yet we can take it for granted. Today we will talk about one person's story and journey through breast cancer and her growth as a result. Many of us know women and families impacted by breast cancer (affects 1 in 8 women) and there are many sad stories out there. My heart goes out to all those women and families. Breast cancer is not just for Mums or old people.  The good news is that 83% women survive 10+ years post diagnosis in AU and increasing focus on prevention but but the disease still frightens many women and their loved ones.  I invite you to consider challenges you have faced and what choices you made at that time? What support did you ask for (or not), who are you now because of that experience? Like me, you might resist the confronting nature of considering what you would do if you or someone close was very sick or challenged. Let's take a gentle peak under the covers today together
