It's pink October, Breast Cancer Awareness month. I picked up a leaflet in the chemist which was quite informative regarding breast cancer treatments and there were some useful addresses on the back which I'll share with you.

I'm going to have my introductory interview with Etincelle this weekend. They are primarily concerned with helping women with cancer feel better about their appearance and offer make up, hair, nail sessions plus psychological support. I'm hoping they'll be able to offer me some help to feel better about how I look.
If you're experiencing breast cancer in France (I'm very sorry if you are) or if you know someone who is, then maybe these addresses will give you a head start in seeking information, assistance and support. Best of luck.
