Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate.
Every day, 57 Australians receive the heartbreaking news that they have breast cancer. In an instant, plans, hopes and dreams can be destroyed, and whole communities shaken.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, give hope to the 57 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every day by purchasing the 2025 Australian Women’s Health Diary.
Everything changed for Naveena when she found out she had breast cancer at 39 years old.
She underwent surgery to remove her tumour and endured two types of chemotherapy over six months. Then 30 rounds of radiation therapy over six weeks.
When Naveena attempted to return to work, her mind and body couldn’t keep up. Naveena went from the top of her field—to being too sick to work.
Too many women are suffering from long-term debilitating side effects as they try to survive a terrible diagnosis. This is the harsh reality of many breast cancer treatments.
Today, Naveena still suffers from the side effects of her treatment and has to take a huge amount of medication and supplements every single day to get through.
“I had a life for 39 years, which was heading in a certain direction. I thought cancer treatment would just be a little detour along this five-lane highway of my life. Instead, I got stuck on this dirt road that’s riddled with potholes,” she said.
Naveena hopes for research to find kinder, more effective breast cancer treatments with less side effects.
“I’m deeply thankful for the lifesaving treatment I received 10 years ago. I struggle to remember things, and insomnia, joint pain and nerve damage are part of every day for me. I’m hopeful research will find kinder treatments so others don’t have to suffer after breast cancer.”
Breast cancer clinical trials research is the only way to get better treatments to all Australians living with breast cancer.
Every significant advance in breast cancer treatments and prevention has been achieved through clinical trials research. But they are incredibly expensive, a single trial can cost $3 million to run.
When you purchase the Australian Women’s Health Diary, you’ll be helping identify new treatments that save and improve the lives of people like Naveena. Every diary sold supports breast cancer trials research.
The diary does more than help organise our lives, it’s packed with expert health advice important to every woman – like breast, heart, finance and mental health, along with diet, exercise and lots more.
Priced at just $19.99 in a convenient A5 size, it has a beautiful hard cover, ribbon bookmark and all the necessary diary features including a bonus health checklist, budget planner, and weekly motivational health tips to inspire you.
The 2025 Australian Woman’s Health Diary is available now from Newsagents, Woolworths, participating Post Offices and online at womenshealthdiary.com.au.
Buy it for yourself or as a gift for that special someone, and help ensure NO MORE lives are cut short by breast cancer.
