Charlotte's healthcare advocacy springs from questions about what home, time, health, and purpose mean when you live between worlds and with a lifespan shorter than you had expected.
Charlotte Lockhart Precision Breast Cancer Institute
Charlotte was successfully treated for breast cancer in her 30s, when her life was full with work and raising her two boys. In early 2021, she received the kind of news that stops time: Stage 4 breast cancer, metastatic and treatable but incurable.
Charlotte's life had been full of plans, projects, and purpose, but with that diagnosis she was told she may have between two and five years to live. She has beaten that prognosis and is responding well to treatment and living in what she calls her “good health window" (as she describes in an interview with New Zealand Woman’s Weekly.
Now Charlotte’s advocacy is about extending to others the advantages, information, and advice that have helped her, and creating community by opening up about the emotional rollercoaster of her diagnosis and the profound lessons she’s learned about love, legacy, and living in the moment.
She has shared her story via podcasts such as Toni Street’s We Need To Talk, and Paula Bennett’s Ask Me Anything.
