Women’s Health Week – Guest author Judith Barrow – Breast Cancer Survivor.

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Sue Vincent

Sally is running a Women’s Health week and her first guest is Judith Barrow, a wonderful writer, supportive blogger and lovely lady. She is also a breast cancer survivor. Judith was my guest here yesterday and if you have read her post, you will now that she does not let surviving cancer define who she is… she only allows it to make her be more of herself.

Sally point s out that Women’s Health affects men too. Although around 50,000 cases of breast cancer in women are diagnosed every year in the UK, it should be remembered that breast cancer can affect men too, both when it touches the women in their lives, and directly. It is much more rare in men, but still around 350 men every year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

    Thanks for sharing this , Sue. I think Sally’s Women’s Health Week is an excellent idea. I was a bit worried about writing this because it’s something I think of as in the past. But I suppose that’s the point. – I’m still here.

      It is, I agree.
      I can understand your concern over that, Judith… I have a post going out with Sally later this week too, and one I try very much to keep in the past too. But for those whose lives are being touched by such things now, knowing you can get through and come out the other end can make all the difference.
      It also puts those lousy mammograms into perspective… which is just as well as I have the appointment letter on my desk 🙂
      Thank you for sharing.

    This is such a fantastic idea – raising awareness about the importance of getting checked can only be a good thing.
    Thank you for the follow by the way, it’s always lovely to meet a fellow blogger 🙂

      My pleasure, Celine.

      Yes, Sally’s initiative highlights something crucial to all of us… an awareness of our bodies and our health and the critical difference that support from friends and family can make.
