@ProfRAScolyer Only on Twitter to see these updates ❤️

Last weekend, I was at the wonderful Sorrento Writers’ Festival in Victoria. I had two wonderful opportunities to talk in 2x packed one hour interviews. In one, I participated with a team of experts including Prof Tori Mar, Jess Armstrong, and Paula Fox hosted by Dr Norman Swan to discuss the importance of sun safety for melanoma prevention and ways to diagnose and treat melanoma as early as possible so most people will be cured! We also discussed some of the amazing breakthroughs that have made significant improvements, including in outcomes in melanoma (& many other cancers). We also talked a bit about my own journey as well. It was fun & plenty of to & fro including with an amazing audience. In a separate 1 hour interview, hosted once again by the brilliant Dr Norman Swan, we discussed my own battle with brain cancer. He asked some fantastic questions, including some that were difficult, challenging & at times, very emotional– I had to stop talking once for what seemed like 30 seconds (& I heard there were many touched people in the audience too). We also discussed the importance of contributing to life with actions and fun. I was absolutely blown away by the friendliness, care and decency of the many hundreds of people there. Thank you all very much! @SorrentoWritFes @normanswan @SydneyLHD @Sydney_Uni @AllenAndUnwin @gmaddox #Brainstorm #glioblastoma #melanoma

@louisadeasey Thank you ❤️❤️

I'm 5 pages off finishing this brilliant memoir. It should be prescribed reading for every Dr, Nurse, Physician... and anyone near a new mum: Protect her sleep. Protect her sleep. Protect her sleep.

Here’s a recent radio interview I did with the smart & friendly ABC’s Hamish Macdonald. Feel free to listen if you are interested.

@freyalogann My friend sent me this! Thank you! xx

Incredible read. For someone that experienced some pretty hectic mental health stuff post partem I found it very affirming.

@AneekaSimonis Hi again. It’s so disappointing to be ignored about this. This still hasn’t been amended despite emails and messages to you and your editors. The lede hasn’t been changed. Mindframe guidelines are clear and you as media have a duty to report responsibility.

@AneekaSimonis Hi Aneeka. Still needs updating. Two weeks later.

@AneekaSimonis please fix the phrase in this that’s not in line with mind frame guidelines. I’ve emailed also. It takes two minutes to fix. heraldsun.com.au/truecrimeaustr…

@theheraldsun @AneekaSimonis Guidelines here. Happy to discuss with @AneekaSimonis around why sensitivity and responsibility is so important here. mindframe.org.au/suicide/commun…

@theheraldsun Hello, I’ve been emailing and contacting your journalist @AneekaSimonis about this for about two weeks now. This phrase is not in line with Mindframe Guidelines. Please amend it.

@mikerdot @ABCmediawatch Thanks M. It’s just bizarre — journalism 101 in 2025 and disappointing to be completely ignored.

Maybe @ABCmediawatch can assist?
