In the middle of a Pandemic, July 2020 Janet found out she has Breast Cancer.


Janet reached out to Kate with this message:


Hi Kate. I just thought I would reach out and share my life and recent battle with you. I’m not expecting anything but would put it out there that if you need my story as a reference I would be happy to share. I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is reasonably large(like my boobs) so it is a complete mastectomy of one breast and lymph nodes where it has also been found. Fortunately it hasn’t been detected in any other part of my body. It is very early days. I haven’t begun treatment but the mastectomy is on 22nd July. I don’t have much of a story to tell yet but I hope in the future my journey will help others. And CHECK YOUR BOOBS. Pass the word to all your friends. If something doesn’t feel right, get it checked straight away. Sorry to put it on you but you are in a position to get the word out. Keep up the good work. Love listening to you xo

And here we are.
This is Janet's story. This is a story for all Women.

The episode was recorded via Facebook on Saturday the 29th of July 2020

On this Episode we talk about-
The surgery 
What happens next
Looking in the mirror
Tears are more than ok.

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade for ACE Radio.

We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. 

She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? 

Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us.

I love to learn and my favourite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. 

Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do?

This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
