I’m a big believer in destiny. I could never be sad or angry that I got cancer, because I believe my cancer diagnosis was a twist of fate. It all began with my 6 week postnatal check up at the doctor’s surgery, where we discussed contraception. At this point the GP asked why I’d been prescribed the contraceptive pill Marvelon to which I responded, ...
Would you believe that two hours after hearing my diagnosis, I was aimlessly wandering round the shop deciding what to buy for my family for tea? I think I was in shock and feeling numb after hearing the word ‘cancer’. My cancer journey has been, and still is, the biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life. I have cried so much over these past few ...
For me, one of the hardest things was not being able to be fully present as a mother with my two little ones during my long months of treatment. Chemo took it out of me, followed by major surgery, all of which left me feeling like half the person I was. The long days of chemo and then the long days recovering in bed were the worst. I only really ha...
"It’s just hair, it will grow back again". I knew this on a rational level, but the moment I heard the word 'chemotherapy', I broke down. Not when I heard the words 'Sorry, it’s cancer', but I broke down when I realised that I would lose my hair. Like many, my hair was part of my identity. It made me feel pretty and womanly.

This is a procedure where the medical team used my stomach fat to create new ‘belly boobs’. The surgery is major and I’m left with some pretty epic scars, but it’s all been worth it. It comes down to personal choice, but for me it was i...
I’ll never truly be able to thank my friends - my angels - for all they have done for me and my family. I just hope they know how much I love them and how much they mean to me. I also found a new group of people - the 'Boobie Bunch’. I’d describe them as a community you’d never want to be in, but one that has helped me in more ways than any book or...
Therapy has been my release. Many people find the idea of talking upsetting or uncomfortable, but for me talking to someone about how I feel has helped. I believe that talking about things can make you feel supported. It can also help you make decisions that are best for you. I’ve been very open and will continue to be. I hope my journey and my att...
Treating cancer is only part of the journey. I’m living with physical and emotional scars that not only affect my health, but also my confidence. I found this quote and it resonated with me so much with how I’m feeling in the life after cancer: “Ican’t imagine ever feeling I'm ‘all-clear’... cancer will always be a part of my life, whether I like i...
