Incredibly honored to crown our badass to the ever-so foobalicious ✨

Lucy found a lump 2 years ago and went on to have multiple scans, 6 to be exact, before being diagnosed with Stage 3 Invasive Ductal Malignant Carcinoma 🎀

Her GP never followed through with the radiologist's advice for a fine needle aspiration until last year 😮‍💨 Unfortunately, this started to show lymph node involvement. Six months later, Lucy demanded a core biopsy, but it was already too late.

Lucy went on to have a left mastectomy with full axillary clearance with 12 nodes removed. She made the brave choice to remain fabulously flat, and this November she’ll begin chemotherapy.

But Lucy is so much more than her diagnosis 🙌

She’s an independent, powerhouse mum of two, navigating life with strength after divorce and showing her kids what resilience looks like 💖 She’s thankful every day for the love of her family and friends, and for her own unshakable spirit.

"We’ve got one life... live it NOW! We got this!" 💕

October is almost here, which means pink ribbons will soon be everywhere. 🎀

For some survivors, it feels empowering... like a badge of honor that says I’ve been through hell and I’m still here.

For others, it can be heavy and triggering, a constant reminder of pain, loss, or fear.

Here’s the truth: there’s no “right” way to feel about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And there’s no one “right” way to show up. 💖

However you feel, you deserve to walk into Awareness Month on your terms.

✨ Protect Your Energy
Not every event, post, or product featuring a pink ribbon will resonate with you. Give yourself permission to say “no” to what doesn’t serve your healing.

✨ Choose Your Awareness
Wear your survivor pride, share your story, donate to an org you trust, or stay quiet and reflective.

✨ Find Your Anchor
Pick one thing that will ground you when emotions get heavy. Like movement, journaling, meditation, or connecting with your Foob Army.

So whether you cover yourself in pink, wear your scars proudly, or take a step back altogether… remember that you don’t owe anyone pink.

You owe yourself peace. 💕

In July '23 .demi.flat.life found a lump in her right breast while watching TV. She didn't think much of it, but when she could still feel it a few days later, she made an appointment⁠

This led to a mammo/US where she noticed they also kept looking at a spot in her armpit. That same day, she received a biopsy 🎀⁠

The medical team was honest in saying the lump & lymph node both looked suspicious, & she should prepare for the results to not be good news⁠

Marcy got the call just 2 days later, that she was confirmed to have Triple Positive Breast Cancer, but her lymph node was just inflamed & showed no signs of cancer⁠

She then went on to have 6 rough rounds of TCHP. After 4 months of getting her "ass kicked", she got a break for 6 weeks before getting her SMX with flat closure the day before her 20th wedding anniversary. Next would be finishing 8 months of Herceptin. She's on Tamoxifen for 5+ years with no noticeable side effects so far 🥳⁠

Marcy is a stay at home parent who's been homeschooling her 2 teens, & also cares for her dad, who lives with her. She's an avid reader & a bit of a geek. She loves going for hikes & has always been into dancing. After recovering, she got back into partner dancing & that's been a huge part of her life these past 1.5 years. "I love it for the social aspect, it's great, fun, & it's an easy way to hit exercise targets every week, which helps with reducing risk of recurrence."⁠

She's thankful to have unlimited help from friends & family. Permitting herself to focus on recovering was huge. She recognized what her body was going through & giving herself the time, space, & patience to do what she needed was ok ❤️‍🩹⁠

"This too shall pass has been a helpful mantra for me long before I dealt with cancer, & it became important all over again while going through treatment. Recognizing also that worrying about future outcomes doesn't change their likelihood & is not worth the effort. Be kind & patient with yourself over what you're going through. There's gonna be a LOT of emotions that come out of nowhere, both during & after treatment is done. But you've got this. It'll be ok." 💕

October brings a flood of pink 🩷 and for some, it’s a powerful message of solidarity.⁠

For others, it can be a painful reminder of everything they’ve endured.⁠
For many of us... it’s both 💕⁠

Here’s the truth: however you feel about pink, your story, your pride, and your strength deserve to be seen 🥰⁠

That’s why my merch goes beyond the pink ribbon 🎀 ⁠

Whether you’re a survivor, a supporter, or standing in memory of someone you love, you have something that truly reflects your voice and your story.⁠

My mornings are fueled by movement… but CBD fuels my nights 🌙

I know that recovery isn’t just about what I do during the day... it’s about how well I rest at night.

As a breast cancer survivor, quality sleep and a calm nervous system are non-negotiables for healing, stress relief, and maintaining my body's strength.

That’s why CBD is part of my nightly routine ✨

One dropper before bed helps me quiet the noise, ease tension, and actually wake up feeling restored instead of depleted.

has been my trusted go-to because I know what I’m putting in my body is clean, safe, and effective.

Here’s to stronger days because of more restful nights. 💜

Let's give a huge round of applause for our badass ... 👸

Amy was undergoing annual MRI surveillance due to being a carrier of the BRCA1 mutation when she was diagnosed with an 11mm Grade 3 Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Cancer in August of 2024 🎀

That September, she had a lumpectomy followed by chemo from Nov 2024 - Mar 2025. Initially, she was on a 2-weekly chemo cycle, but due to her mental health suffering, her team switched her to a 3-week cycle that was much kinder on her.

Aside from a short stint in the hospital with a high heart rate & some neuropathy & tinnitus (all of which she still has) 🏥 Amy came through chemo largely unscathed.

By far the most challenging task for her was cold capping 🥶

Amy has a young daughter, and it was crucial to her to try & stay as ‘normal’ for her as possible (Amy was adamant she didn’t want to look like a cancer patient), so cold capping was really important. She still lost a fair amount of hair, but thanks to cold capping, managed to save most of it.

The aftermath of chemo left her feeling like she had the worst hangover, which would make her stuff her face 🥴

As a result, not helped by the steroids, she put on a fair amount of weight & lost a lot of her fitness, which she's slowly getting back.

Once chemo was finished, she underwent a DMX with immediate DIEP & TRAM reconstruction. Amy will likely have further surgery next year to have her ni***es reconstructed & any tidying up her surgeon wants to do.

Outside of cancer, Amy is a mum to a wild six-year-old girl & works in public relations for the NHS, telling the incredible stories of the amazing people who work for the ambulance service 🚑️

Amy would have been lost without her incredible friends 💖 They had a chemo rota, some cooked for her, others simply took her out for cake or sent her cards to cheer me up.

"Take each day as it comes & try to celebrate the small wins along the way. Cancer does not define you, it’s simply a part of your story. Don’t let it win by taking away whatever makes you feel like you. Also take regular photos so you have something to look back on & remind yourself just how far you've come. You’d be amazed by what you forget! I also did a family photo shoot before chemo started & did a b**b casting before my surgery, both of which I’d highly recommend!" 💕

I know survivorship can feel overwhelming at times... physically, emotionally, and mentally.

That’s why at Foobs & Fitness, I focus on giving you tools, guidance, and support to reclaim your body, confidence, and energy at every stage of recovery.

✨ Through personalized movement plans, we work with your body where it’s at. Whether you’re rebuilding strength, improving mobility, or just learning to feel comfortable in your own skin again.

It's my absolute honor to crown as our badass 👸⁠

Greta had just received a clear mammo and ultrasound in December of 2022, but found a lump during a self-exam a few months later while in the shower.⁠

It wasn't until May of 2023 that she was officially diagnosed with Stage 2A, ER➕️ PR➖️, HER2➖️⁠

Since she was at a high risk of recurrence, her treatment plan included 8 rounds of neoadjuvant chemotherapy that ended up being delayed 2x through the course of her treatment 😫⁠

In February of 2024, Greta underwent a lumpectomy with 12-13 lymph nodes removed. Out of those, 5-6 came back positive for breast cancer.⁠

She then continued to have 20 rounds of radiation and boosters ☢️ that spring.⁠

After doing 3 months of Lupron injections, Greta was able to switch to quarterly injections and is now on Anastrozole + Verzenio.⁠

With treatment-induced menopause 🥵 the hot flashes are the number 1 complaint, followed by major muscle and joint pain. Greta is also experiencing extreme fatigue, where she tends to nap daily. ⁠

Throughout her diagnosis, the weight gain has been increasing, but she's combating that while being a Zumba enthusiast! 💃⁠

She's not only a wife, but a mom to adults now, who have made her a doting dog grandma. ⁠

Greta's own dog was her therapy, who helped her get through chemo 🐶 She thought staying positive would help, but it hurt in the long run. She tended to downplay a lot of what she was going through because she didn’t want anyone to worry about her. ⁠

"Allow yourself to feel all the feels and emotions. This is a tough journey, ensure your care team has therapy available. Talk to a nutritionist early on. Have a good support system, even after active treatment." 💕
