I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner because I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.
My Story
I was 45 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my world fell apart! Why me? I am too young? What have I done to cause it? The answer is that cancer can effect anyone regardless of age, profession, race or gender, it doesn’t care! My husband, two teenage daughters and parents supported me throughout but had to also watch a wife, mother and daughter go through some harsh treatment , it was extremely difficult for us all. However, after a mastectomy, chemotherapy and herceptin injections I am now in remission, the advances in treatment over the past few years have saved my life. So every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
