What Cancer Took—and What Sarah Built in Its Place.

from After awareness, then what? #CancerCanDoOne. · host LouthRunForLife - Mike Kinnaird

She knew something wasn't right. At all. But getting her fears recognised took far longer than anticipated. Time and again this mum in her 30s who'd just had baby number three was told she should really concentrate on the baby and stop worrying about her breast.  But she went back to her doctor again and again only to hear the same response.  Finally out of frustration on all sides Sarah Drake was sent for a scan. She had breast cancer... That was 12 years ago and now after a double mastectomy her life has moved on and cancer is her life in a positive way.  Today, Sarah runs a training company called Elephant In The Room that helps workplaces better support staff going through cancer. In this episode, she shares her story — one of deep pain, growth, and ultimately, purpose. It’s a conversation about what it means to heal, to forgive, and to turn something incredibly difficult into something meaningful.   _________________________________________________   Elephant In The Room Training: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eitrtraining/posts/?feedView=all    Follow Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikekinnaird?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app
