June-July 2022: The echoes of community

I’ve used AA Milne as inspiration before. This issue I’m inspired by that “silly old bear” that delights children and adults. So, all these Winnie the Pooh quotes highlight why this magazine is a hug for cancer, “A hug is always the right size.” 

I’m thrilled with the launch of a project dear to my heart: Childcare at BCCE. “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” Well done, Gabi. Ensuring childcare when mothers are battling treatment is so important. 

When it comes to Does your healthcare team know what matters most to you? remember “If the person you’re talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
