The Wrinkle Report — Episode #4 Breast Cancer Awareness: Early Checks, Real Stories, and Community Support
This week on The Wrinkle Report, Lisa and Hannah open the microphone to a topic that touches so many families — breast cancer. Last year in Australia, 57 people were diagnosed every single day. Nine passed away daily. The numbers are confronting, and they don’t discriminate by age or gender. Even men are affected, with 221 men diagnosed last year alone.
Lisa brings this home with the stories of two mums she knows personally, both diagnosed on the same day. While they’re recovering physically, the psychological weight is just as real, the fear of recurrence, the need to stay strong for their families, and the quiet moments of doubt that people rarely talk about.
Lisa also shares her own experience of travelling around Australia for three years with limited access to regular healthcare. Without a familiar GP, even simple breast checks felt confusing and isolating, until she stumbled across a mobile breast screening bus in a small New South Wales town. Her first mammogram wasn’t painful. It wasn’t scary. It was supportive, kind, and free.
She encourages anyone, women and men, to check in with their bodies, learn what feels normal, and speak up when something changes. Atticus Health and Mark and Sylvie’s Home Care continue to raise awareness every day, not just in October.
Lisa is inviting breast cancer survivors or family members to join her for the next episode on Thursday the 13th to share their journey and strengthen community awareness.
If you'd like to be part of the conversation, call Atticus Health or Mark & Sylvie’s and ask for Lisa.

The Wrinkle Report – Episode #2:
With Kay & Martin from Mark & Sylvie’s Homecare
This week, Lucie welcomes two very special guests--Kay and Martin, part of the Mark & Sylvie’s Homecare family.
Together, they share what it’s really like to provide care that goes beyond ticking boxes: the trust built inside living rooms, the resilience of clients, and the quiet pride that comes from making someone’s day lighter.
This episode is less about what services are delivered and more about why they matter.
Kay and Martin open up about the moments that have stayed with them, the challenges, and the joy of seeing people live at home with independence and dignity.
If you’ve ever wondered what true person-centred care feels like or why community-based care is such a crucial part of ageing, this is the conversation to tune into.
