I’m Anahera, I’m a mum of 2 & this was the hardest pill I’ve ever had to swallow. I was not expecting to hear the news of BC when I popped into the doctors for what I thought was a cyst removal. You actually never really know what you are going to hear, but when I heard the words which soon turned into noise, it definitely was the hardest pill I had to swallow.
I kept it to myself for a couple months, I didn’t know how to articulate what I was going through, and I also didn’t know how it would be taken by those who love me. I was devastated and I was completely in shock, I didn’t want to watch the ones around me break, the way I did. Once I was able to find the words and strength to tell those around me I have been loved and cared for. I have had friends and family help me along the way, I have had aunties come to my appointments and sit there for hours on end. I have had sleepless nights but also peaceful sleeps. I have been able to see the world from a different perspective, a reason to push and be better than I was yesterday.
I’m having this pink ribbon breaky to celebrate all that I’ve achieved in the last 6 months & to also show the love I have for all those who are diagnosed after and before me 🎀
