“Denise, there’s an 80% chance you have breast cancer.”

My mindset? OK, what’s next?

I shared my journey at Dunstable Downs — a talk about resilience, early detection, and hope.

Check yourselves, go to your mammograms. 🌸🌸

Socrates himself acknowledged Aspasia as his teacher in rhetoric, stating that she taught him the art of persuasive speaking.
Despite the societal limitations placed on women in ancient Athens, Aspasia achieved recognition for her intelligence and influence, inspiring later generations. #aspasia

Today I met with Marie Brewis and MP of Luton North ~ @SarahOwen MP

We spoke about our desire for a cancer support centre in Luton and various other health related topics.

Other counties have them, so why can’t we?

Empowering!

The word itself gives me a sense of motivation and I automatically switch to…
“I can do it” mode and help others.

For me…It’s that feeling of sharing what you believe will help others.
