I was diagnosed with breast cancer easter 2017.

I thought it was the end of my world at 44. I was told i needed chemo has it had gone into my nodes.

I just thought omg im going to lose my hair (which was thinning anyway).

Anyway i had a lumpectomy ,chemo,radio and tamoxifen. Chemo was very hard but with the help of my work at the local airport i still managed to stay in work most of the time.for that im very greatful.im now back at my old job which i love and everybody as been amazing. I owe my life to the breast unit in derby.to anybody recently diagnosed or already going through this terrible time please stay strong and know that there is always people there for you.

I see this issue for myself as a blip in my life, i have come out of this stronger in body and mind. I did lose my hair but i needed to do it . Im now known as the silver vixen by my husband. Its silvery grey going slightly curl and much thicker and healthier. I thought cancer was going to end my life but it has actually made my life better.. and if it comes back ill fight it again only stronger this time.

Sending love to everybody who has or will come across cancer.keep strong
