Bena Roberts and the black wand of breast cancer

I believe in destiny. I also believe in Karma. So, after falling over, blaming drinking at University, smoking in Amsterdam and feeling a bit like Cinderalla.. I think I am finally ready just to say it.

I have breast cancer.

The black wand hit me and I feel like crap …but next week I will have a few operations followed by Chemotherapy and then um… the bitch should be back in about six months!

If you are NeoMedia, Scanbuy or any major barcode provider or anyone with a barcode story – I would still like to try and cover it. It might be late, but if you SMS me when the news is published on good days I intend to write. I can’t do everything and I have to focus on getting better – but where there is a will…

Meanwhile, please use my brilliant team.

Cian is the Chief Blogger – cian@gomonews.net

Tony Dennis will be the UK Blogger – tony@mobileinsight.co.uk

Niamh Owens is our business development manager – nowens@wit.ie – please also contact her for media partnerships

Sinead Quealy is joining us from visibility mobile and TSSG – she is the boss when I am away and if you want to scream at anyone or shout at us – please email squealy@tssg.org
