All about

Bad Boobie

Bad Boobie was created by Glencora and her husband after Glencora began her own Breast Cancer Journey at the age of 40. 

Glencora wanted to tackle her Breast Cancer journey with a positive attitude but found very few avenues to let her express herself or let those around her know she was doing okay.  Thus Bad Boobie was born...

Glencora Head Shave Party

"Eventually we were joking about it and we even turned treatment days into 'adventure days'..."

"Breast Cancer is a crappy road to find yourself on.  One day you’re doing fine then all-of-a-sudden you're facing something that might end your life.  There is every reason to find it hard to cope with.  For this reason many of the Breast Cancer support options are focused on those who are having a hard time of it.

Right from the outset we, (my husband and I), looked for ways to prevent the cancer from becoming the focus of our lives. It was just a thing we had to deal with, like any other issue that might pop up.

It wasn't all "sunshine and rainbows" for sure, but we took a lot of power away from the cancer by planning ahead, keeping informed and tackling it head-on.  The more involved we became the less overwhelming it felt.  Eventually we were joking about it and we even turned treatment days into "adventure days" which we really looked forward to.

We also took the diagnosis as an opportunity to talk about Breast Cancer with family, friends and workmates.  Typically, if you are having a conversation about any form of Cancer it’s likely to be very emotional and uncomfortable for everyone.  In society we tend to only hear about the bad cancer stories so it's something we all avoid discussing - until we have no choice.

Our pragmatic and often humorous approach made it easy for people to have a conversation and feel comfortable asking questions.  Our ability to discuss the journey in a fun way helped us convey a lot of information, allay fears and remove stigmas.

We started Bad Boobie to help women wanting to tackle Breast Cancer with a smile, (and a cheeky middle finger), and empower them to start their own conversations about Breast Cancer."
