Proud moment today. @EqualityPCN, breast screening talk. I met an inspiring breast cancer survivor, who shared her story. Talked about the importance of screening.

Early detection saves live, it saved mine. 🌸🌸

Back out at 7am restarting Couch to 5K after a back strain pause.

Working on my middle cortisol belly for health reasons — progress, not perfection. 💪

10 years ago, facing #BreastCancer, my baseline fitness helped get Early detection saves lives. 💗

Starting line 🏁 #breastcancer wasn’t just physical—it was fear and uncertainty.

CBT steadied my mind.
Thought by thought 💭 day by day.

Strength = not letting fear win.

10-year #breastcancer survivor 💗 sharing in hope it helps one person.

Early detection saved my life—check yourself monthly.
Know what’s normal. If something feels off, get it checked.

Go to your screening. It matters. 🎀

“Stay positive” isn’t always the answer.

For me, it was about determination & resilience.
CBT, exercise, nutrition & my medical team (#NHS) helped me keep going.

You don’t have to feel positive — just keep moving forward. 💗

Mental Health & Cancer 🧠

After my #breastcancer diagnosis, I learned negative thoughts can harm more than help.

CBT helped me pause, challenge them, and choose kinder thinking.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone 🤍
