Around 100 guests had purchased tickets to a glamorous event at Lauxes restaurant and I was invited to speak to them about my personal experience.  In the audience were many other women who have also had their own experience with this disease.  These girls got my jokes!!!  I’m always amazed how many come to have a chat afterwards and describe how similar and also how different our journeys can be.

Channel 9 Gold Coast News sent a crew to cover the event.  Considering I was standing up there talking about such things as the day my breasts were removed, I was glad the Chief of Staff at 9 had assigned a couple of the industry’s best, Eva Milic and Tom Stefanovic, who I knew from my days on the road and in various newsrooms.

We made sure they had what they needed for the story, then promptly got down to the business of catching up properly over lunch!
