New York New York..the 14 day trip that saved my life.

“Things could have been much different if it wasn't for that early detection!”

My World stopped.
I felt a lump on my breast.
Surely it won't be cancer? Will it?

“I am stronger, fitter, a more fulfilled powerful woman because of it.”

“I think cancer is a lottery..”

“Two years later I’m here with my lovely red hair back to how it was.”

“Make sure you have your mammogram. It takes two minutes and it might just save your life.”

“I am writing my story on my 38th birthday about the hardest journey I will probably ever have to deal with.”

“I am worried that any future employer finds out that I have had breast cancer in case I am treated differently.”

“I have struggled with side effects from tamoxifen but it hasn't stopped me from running a marathon or becoming a triathlete.”

They told me he lump was the size of a small olive, it took me several months before I could buy olives again. Whenever I went shopping I found myself eyeing them up with great suspicion.

“Cancer has changed my appearance and my life but not all for the worse.”
