    ONE WARRIOR with me - Emily Somers

    I know I said this series was about giving you a rest from me and telling the stories of other warriors but SURPRISE - here's one on me. As this week marks 5 years in the clear of 2 x cancer I thought it was good timing to share my cancer story. As with everything I do in Bravery, I hope my experience helps the warriors and their friends get through the shit show that is cancer. Em x Name: Emily Somers Cancer: Hodgkin's Lymphoma - twice.

    ONE WARRIOR with Laura Opie

    Welcome to the story of Laura. (Yes, another Laura!). Through the power of Instagram I was introduced to this beautiful girl. Laura (@lauraopie_) is just 23 years old and has been dealt about 7 lifetimes worth of absolute BS. Her boss attitude is nothing short of impressive and this girl’s strength shines through her words so strongly it pretty much punches you in the face. And as an extra bonus, she’s funny as all hell. I hope you enjoy her story. Please send her some love a

    What happens in chemo land?

    What is cancer? How did you find it? What exactly is chemo? What the hell is hanging out of your chest? Why do you lose your hair? When I first got diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma I didn’t know a thing about cancer. Neither did my friends. Not one clue. I was 27 - why should I?! After two rounds in cancer school, I now know a thing or two. So here are the answers to the basic questions I got asked the most. A cancer cheat sheet, if you will. Hopefully it will give you a bette

    Why every cancer patient needs a chemo buddy.

    Why every cancer patient needs a chemo buddy.

    Every friend has a backstory. It’s the way you introduce them to other friends. ‘This is Kate – I know her from high school.’ ‘This is Jono – he was born from the same womb.’ ‘This is Greg - he’s the loud breather that sits next to me at work.’ My friend Steph and I have a backstory I’m fiercely proud of. Together, we kicked cancer in the nuts. EMILY: Within 5 minutes of our first conversation this little voice on the phone had told me more about chemo than all the oncologis

    What to say and do when a friend's stuck in hospital with f*cking cancer.

    What to say and do when a friend's stuck in hospital with f*cking cancer.

    Today I got some news that a dear friend's landed back in hospital. She's been kicking cancer’s butt for a while now but cancer's winning this round and she needs a hand to get through it. I’m heartbroken for her. Life can be a heinous bitch sometimes - unfair and just plain cruel. I wish there was someone that we could blame, direct a decent ass whooping to or at least write a strongly worded letter. A lot of the time the big ‘C’ is an isolating experience, especially when y

    The f*ck cancer files: Nell's story

    Bravery Co. is about so much more than just my story – I’m only a small part of a huge intricate web of cancer stories. These tales can often be heartbreaking but without a doubt will also contain happiness, hilarity, resilience and an impressive dose of inspiration. By sharing these stories I want to make the conversation less awkward, more familiar and easier to conduct - should the big ‘C’ ever hustle its way into your life. This is Nell’s story. I immediately identify Nel
