Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I had Breast Cancer in 2016 to grade 3. I had 6 gruelling rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a mastectomy. I finished with 12 rounds of radiotherapy. I have since developed lymphoedema in my left hand side and I will live with this condition for the rest of my life (you’ll find me looking like macca pacca with a swollen arm).
I then had an ovarian cancer scare and a radical hysterectomy followed. This has been very tough as it resulted in an instant menopause.
On a positive note, in 2018 I began my journey to reconstruction. I have had 4 operations to reconstruct in Whiston Liverpool. I had the DIEP operation. Recovery is hard, but worth it!
Summary—my body has taken a beating.
I often worry about Cancer returning, but if it did return I’d hope that there would be treatment to extend my life and I hope that we can all make a donation so that all of our lives are protected.
This is also to help the lives of all of the beautiful women that live with this life limiting illness.
I share my story in the hope that it helps other women and to give hope that you can carry on.
