Do yourself a favour and go see it 🩷

Before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was unaware of my risk.

It never crossed my mind that I could be diagnosed at just 35 years old. Breast cancer simply wasn’t on my radar.

I don’t have a strong family history and I don’t carry a known genetic mutation. In fact, my chances of being diagnosed were considered relatively low.

Yet here I am.

Once I entered “cancer world”, one thing became very clear to me…

Most women only become aware of breast health after a diagnosis touches their life.

That’s why I created BUST A MOVE.

A Kissed by Pink initiative designed to encourage women of all ages to get to know their normal, trust their bodies and feel empowered to seek advice when something doesn’t seem right.

Because breast awareness shouldn’t start after a diagnosis - it should start long before one.

Young women should be building confidence around their breast health and developing habits that last a lifetime - it’s never too late to start good habits.

Because when it comes to breast cancer, early detection can make a significant difference.

So make the pinky promise to yourself to bust a move every month and

💗 get to know your normal
💗 trust your body
💗 act quickly if you notice something different

💗 I’m proud to launching BUST A MOVE – a Kissed by Pink initiative designed to encourage women to get to know their normal and feel empowered when it comes to their breast health.

Breast awareness doesn’t need to be scary. It only takes a few minutes each month to become familiar with your body and notice when something changes.

Recently, I learned that only 52% of eligible women are participating in BreastScreen Australia. That means many women may be missing the opportunity for early detection and peace of mind.

That’s why BUST A MOVE was created.

So that every woman can make a Pinky Promise to herself:
💗 To get to know her normal.
💗 To check in with herself regularly.
💗 To trust her body and notice when something changes.
💗 To seek advice from a healthcare professional if something doesn’t feel right.

Because nobody knows your body better than you do.

Whether you’re 20, 40, or 70, breast awareness is about knowledge, confidence, and early action.

Make a Pinky Promise to know your normal, trust yourself, and never be afraid to advocate for your health.

Because it’s a promise you deserve to make to yourself💗

I was lucky enough to be invited to the premiere of the Conquering Breast Cancer Documentary last night 🩷 made by ….and wow! What an amazing evening it was.

Seeing a room come together for one mission was really inspiring. Hearing the stories from these amazing women really brought home how complex breast cancer is.

No two women are the same.

Yet, there is one thing that is the same for everyone.

Fear.

When someone has been diagnosed with cancer they have a fear of what their outcome might be. Even if they are able to get through treatment and there’s no evidence of disease they still live with the fear of reoccurrence.

Imagine a world where we were able to conquer breast cancer. A world where we don’t have to fear for our future.

My mission along with many others is to help make that world become a reality.

Everyone needs to check their breasts every month because the earlier the diagnosis the better the outcome. Early detection matters!

I felt privileged to be in the presence of so many brave, strong, passionate and inspiring women who have helped make such wonderful and important strides towards conquering breast cancer 🩷

I am a bit late….I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day 💐🩷

Mother’s Day is a very special day and can have a lot of mixed emotions for everyone. It’s a day where we are grateful for our own motherhood while also appreciating our own mothers.

It’s a day where we both celebrate and grieve a little for those who are no longer earth side, we honour them every day but today means just that little bit more.

Since entering cancer world over 3 years ago, I have been so lucky to meet such wonderful women and some of those incredible women are no longer here in the physical world. Today can be a painful reminder for some and I just wanted to acknowledge that and send love to everyone missing their mum 🩷

My hubby and kids created a fun-filled day for me with pancakes for breakfast, roller skating, mini golf and then made nachos for dinner 👌🏻 it was perfection. I chose to put the phone down that day and really immerse myself with the activities - I actually managed to skate around the rink which I didn’t think I was able to do!

I’ve always made an effort to get involved with the kids but once you’ve been touched by cancer you see things differently and you really take a moment to enjoy what’s happening around you. The cuddles, the smiles and silly games - it truly is the small things that count.

I also wanted to give a shout out to my mum who has been my biggest supporter for the last 38 years. The woman who stands by me, helps in times of need, an ear, a shoulder, a defender and everything in between. She gives so much and expects very little in return 🩷 love you mum 🩷

I had the absolute privilege of being invited by the NBCF to attend the Peter Mac cancer centre and do a tour of their labs, specifically in the research area around breast cancer. Not only was I in the presence of companies and other community people who donate to the NBCF but I got to meet some amazing passionate people who are dedicating their lives to the fight against breast cancer.

The CEO of the NBCF Cleola Anderiesz spoke about the amazing projects, research and programs that they fund and how passionate the NBCF is about working towards a future of zero deaths from breast cancer - what an amazing world that would be!

Seeing up close where our fundraising is directly going and the impact it makes was an incredible experience. One of the lead researchers, Ian Campbell gave a detailed presentation on the work that’s involved in working out why the increase of breast cancer diagnoses in young women are on the rise and what preventive measures we can do while also working on ways to help stop reoccurrence. He talked about how they are trying to figure out why some women under 40 are being diagnosed with more aggressive breast cancers such as Triple Negative have no known reason (which is me!).

Over the years there has been incredible strides forward on treatment options and our statistics on surviving a breast cancer diagnosis has also increased - but we still have so much more to go.

Over the next 5 years there will be more than 100,000 new cases of breast cancer in Australia & NZ and 16,000 of those will die. These numbers do not include reoccurrence from a previous breast cancer diagnosis.

So, how do we make a difference?

🩷 We self check regularly.
🩷 We advocate for ourselves - get the second opinion, get further testing if you want and ask the questions.
🩷 We fundraise while having the most fun time together!”

Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity!

🩷 Pink Wednesday 🩷

Today I’m also sharing my because I nailed my rehab session today!

After all my surgeries and the side effects from my treatment therapies I now need to build up my strength again. I have so much scar tissue, cording, lost muscle mass, fluid retention, fatigue, nerve damage - and I’m 3 years on since my diagnosis.

Cancer is a life long hurdle. Active treatment can be very visual but there are a lot of layers that I still need to work through every single day.

🩷 Pink Wednesday is to honour and unite those affected by breast cancer - you are not alone.

🩷 A Pink Power Pose is a moment to stand strong because I have been touched by breast cancer but it does not define me - nor you.

Show me your pink power poses!
