In 2016, at the age of 77, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer and cancer in the lymph nodes. Later that year after intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy medication she under went a mastectomy. In early 2017 she was given the all clear however in July 2017 just weeks away from becoming a great-grandmother, she passed away. Her passing was not due to cancer directly but the treatment and operation definitely had a detrimental effect on her health.
I will never forget the strength she showed going through the treatment, the operation and then the recovery. She was the definition of a strong woman just like she had been all her life.
We always spoke about completing the race for life so this year I have decided I am actually going to do it.
I hope she would be as proud of me now as I was of her ❤️
