My Story
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 ❤️
