Cancer Survive It! by Michelle Brennan
Cancer. A blessing in disguise. Cancer is a blessing in disguise. A wake up call. A reality check. An opportunity to transform your life. An opportunity to take back your power, your health, and turn your life around into a life you love to live. Hello, my name is Michelle Brennan and I’ve now joined “the club”. “The Cancer Club.” Not by choice but I’m now one of the millions who either have cancer or have survived it. My journey with cancer started about three years ago, I lived a hectic lifestyle, I was busy raising a family, promoting a book,...

Kristy Muir | 3rd February 2012 – Sunshine Coast Daily ONE Australian woman every 11 hours will lose her battle with ovarian cancer. The disease is said to be a silent killer, but medical experts say this is untrue. In fact, symptoms of abdominal or pelvis pain, abdominal bloating, needing to urinate often and feeling full quickly are often mistaken for menopause or other female discomforts.

I was fortunate to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 45 – fortunate that it was detected very early though serendipitous circumstances. With a strong family history of female cancer, I had been preparing (and being prepared) for this challenge for a while.

Hi my name is Tracey. I am married with 3 boys. 15, 16 and 8 yrs old. My 89 year old grandmother lives with us also. She became very ill and was only expected to live approximately 6 or so months. The accommodation where she was at wasn’t suitable for her condition so we said that she could come and live with us. 3 and a half years later she is still here better than she was before she moved in.

Trish Fitzgerald I have been fortunate enough to be introduced to “The Beautiful You” mornings hosted by Debbie Clayton. I was told about the generosity and care that Debbie gives to women going through the effects of Cancer from a friend of mine. I immediately was very keen to go along to see for myself as my Chemo had finished 12 months before. Yet I had to have a second Mastectomy after that in December and my husband and I had started to feel the financial strain that numerous operations, treatments and medications bring. Generally, other places I have spoken to if you are no...
