One Year Anniversary

This last week was my one year anniversary of hearing the words, "you have stage 4 breast cancer". And this week one year ago I had one of my breasts removed because of the breast cancer. So you can well imagine that it's been a reflective week. How do I feel? I feel elated to be alive and fully embracing another year of life. This past year has been full of so many emotions and angst but one filled with so much love and support which was essential in getting through the challenging year. What's ahead? I have resigned from BP as of Friday... I have started a new company manufacturing and distributing fit for purpose PPE work wear for women... and am trying to stitch up my next role. What I've found when talking with other people that have dealt with similar challenges is battling depression, lack of energy, extra weight gain, etc. So the battle of staying positive and healthy is an important one to talk about!

    Congratulations on both your anniversary and your new endeavor. How exciting!!! I'm certain that a change of pace and working from home will help with stress a bit and give you a bit more time with family....at least I hope so!! Love you and wish you the best.

    Congratulations on this important milestone, Laurice! All strength to Team Laurice! This year marks my dad's 10th anniversary since he was diagnosed with leukemia. Needless to say, it will be a big celebration with him! Kind regards, Michael King

    Hello,

    I hope all is well. I wanted to let you know about this great resource Healthline has about breast cancer. The resource includes a virtual tour on understanding the progression of breast cancer, from where it starts to how it affects the body.

    You can see the guide here: http://www.healthline.com/breast-cancer/anatomy-animations#1/breast-cancer-where-it-starts

    I thought this would be a great resource for your site and wanted to see if you could include it on your page: http://teamlaurice.blogspot.com/

    Please let me know if this would be possible. I’m happy to answer any questions as well.

    Thanks so much,
