🩷 My Breast Cancer Journey: A Call for Awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I want to share my story to emphasize that not all breast cancer can be felt. This post also explains my recent absence from work.
My Unexpected Diagnosis
In July, my first over-50s mammogram revealed breast cancer—with no detectable lump. This routine screening potentially saved my life.
Shocking Statistics
- 30% of women nationwide and 40% in London don’t take advantage of free mammograms.
- 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
The Importance of Early Detection
After two surgeries and awaiting radiotherapy, I’m grateful for early detection. While I believe screening should start younger (many women in their 40s, including my sister, are diagnosed), we’re fortunate to have this service available at 50.
Addressing Common Concerns
😱 Fear: Don’t be scared. Mammograms are quick, easy, and only mildly uncomfortable.
😳 Embarrassment: The process is discreet and respectful, conducted by women in a safe space.
😶 No Visible Symptoms: Remember, I had no lumps or symptoms—mammograms can detect what you can’t feel.
✉️ Access: You’ll receive an invitation around your 50th birthday. If not, consult your GP. Under 50? See your GP if you notice any breast changes.
🙈 Denial: It’s natural to think “it won’t happen to me,” but early detection is crucial. There’s no harm in checking.
Take Action 💪
Don’t wait. If you’re due for a mammogram, schedule it today. Early detection can make all the difference in your breast cancer journey.
🩷 Let’s spread awareness and support each other. Your health matters! 🩷

This is why I love what I do. Meeting an amazing group of therapists in one day for Cryopen Training.
My morning session with Nilam, Jacqui, Brett, Petra and Indiah and , an amazing team of therapists.
Then the afternoon with Marzanna and Maria , who are two independent therapists who met doing dermapen training and help support each other, coming together to do their cryopen training.
What a great day, all learning more to progress in what they love doing.......treating the skin! ❤️

Its been a while!💙
Concentrating on the clinic and the social media to support it, I archived this account - I struggle having time to post with one not along two!
But with my beauty aesthetic teaching increasing, I thought I would separate what I'm up to from the clinic.
I firstly thought I had lost this profile, so formed another, my son found this one, so here I am. Sorry for anyone who found the other profile! 😂
I want to be able to bring information to my students past, present and future about treatments, troubleshooting, products and training information. as well as clients who want to know a bit more about treatments and the products we use.
So hopefully in-between teaching, writing training notes, preparing for classes, running the clinic and treating all my lovely clients, I'll try and pop on here and get some information out that you might find handy. 😃
This is me at the Hilton Hotel. London, doing my first presentation for the Meline depigmentation skin peels and products.
