A group of Katikati members joined over 100 local ladies for a “Pink Ribbon” Breakfast at Fairview Golf Club in Katikati in support of breast cancer.
We were privileged to hear the story of a lady who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer after finding a small lump in her breast, she was then 36 years old and had 2 children aged 3 and 5.
Her story covered her fears and all emotions she went through and how she got through the loss of loosing both breasts, she actually wrote a book about her ordeal with the support of 100 other women who had gone through the same experience.
She had 1000 books printed and gave them to clinics all over the world, she is now 8 years clear of cancer but not all people in her book survived.
Her message was how important it is to check your breasts regularly.
