9 months ago I joined Macmillan Online Community after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer . My intentions were to talk to others in the same place as me or who might be able to advise me what treatments would be like or what would happen.
What I found was a group of women who were there for each other, no matter what, good days, bad days, through every symptom and side effect known to woman kind. We were united in our battle as warriors against BC. There was always someone there for whatever you might want to post and although we are all very different and have differences of opinions, we were united in our common enemy - CANCER.
To say the community was shocked and rocked to the core in late December when we lost our lovely Annie40 would be an understatement. Annie touched each and everyone of us, for no matter what she was going through, she still reached out and helped everyone else. She is still greatly missed by us all.
In honour of our beloved friend we are taking part in Race for Life around the country, for some it's their first charity run, for others it's a test of fitness after gruelling treatments - for us all it's celebrating our friendships and honouring Annie's memory. I like to think Annie would be joining us if she were here, and instead will be with us in spirit.
Would you join us ?? We are taking part in London, Folkestone, Aberdeen, Worksop, Norwich - and looking to get some friendly training sessions in before hand. We've a friendly group on Facebook where we share tips and pics of training.
For anyone newly diagnosed, the online community has been one of the best things like a silver lining in the battle against this sh*tty disease.
