October is breast cancer awareness month, and of course raising awareness is everywhere which is vital in making sure people know what changes to look for. But it can be a difficult time for those going through treatment, newly diagnosed or living beyond cancer.
I remember being in the thick of it during treatment, in this image I was half way through chemo and going back and forth hospital for various appointments and just feeling like cancer was everywhere. It was on posters it was on social media, TV and it came up in films and the news. All of these things can be triggering and can feel like you can’t escape it, when sometimes that’s exactly what you need. If you find this month a bit tough, please try and take care of yourself, take a break from social media, take the pressure off and get outside into nature breathe and do something that brings you joy! Better days will come. X
