During treatment she started blogging \u2013 seeking to record the positive aspects. The blogs led to her book \u2018Chemo and Courage : the power of staying positive\u2019.<br \/>\r\nBabs\u2019 personal five anchors are her faith, books and podcasts that engage and inspire, personal contacts and conversations, recording something (however small) to be grateful for each day, and always counteracting negativity with the simple thought \u201cbut \u2026\u201d. <br \/>\r\nThe Soroptimists were left in no doubt that Babs is passionate to encourage everyone to take advantage of all cancer screening opportunities. Her message centres on facing screening and treatment \u2013 and life \u2013 without fear.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-button-outer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\" primary\">Button<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/section>\n","protected":false},"template":"","update-type":[4],"topic":[2],"class_list":["post-28","update","type-update","status-publish","hentry","update-type-type-a","topic-new-topic"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/update\/28","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/update"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/update"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"update-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/update-type?post=28"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
