Depression is a very hard-hitting reality for many Breast Cancer survivors as well as patients still undergoing diagnosis and treatment –although it’s a topic that still needs much attention in South Africa. Since Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women and, although it’s no longer a death sentence with all the treatment options available, it still unfortunately carries stigmas around self-image and sexuality. . In recent times treatment has advanced significantly and it is no longer the death sentence it once was. The down side though is that the aggressiveness of the treatments can expose patients to quite extreme side-effects, including depression. This is why recognising the impact of breast cancer and its treatment on long-term outcomes, like your mental health, is so important.

Ridiculed in front of my kids’: Readers share that schools still withhold reports
"Parents are being webbed into this devious way of collecting outstanding fees by retaining the learner's report, knowing very well it is emotional blackmail and intimidation."

"I have never been so traumatised in all my life, my girls included."
We recently wrote an article clarifying that withholding school reports, for any reason, is against the law. But readers wrote to us to share that despite the fact that withholding school reports in lieu of outstanding fees is illegal, many families are still being denied reports and more.

“I was so happy when I saw this article about school fees. Last term I was late paying school fees by 4 days and they charged me a penalty of R125, and due to this, my son was not allowed to get his report till I pay the R125.
