Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I love cycling .... This was an opportunity not to be missed! Cycling from London to Brighton overnight  in September 2015

In early 2014 I had just come home from a tough kickboxing training session and thought .... Oh that feels sore. I put it down to holding kick pads too close to my chest and taking a lot of heavy impact .... 2 weeks later the pain was still there but no black marks or bruises .... Went to have a shower one night after training but I forgot my 'shower puff', so had to use shower gel in my hands ..... It was only then I found my lump! 

It was by some form of good luck I found my lump ..... I know that sounds crazy but at least it was time enough for the opportunity of treatment to save my life!

My formal diagnosis was 16 April 2014, I had surgery 16 May 2014, chemo started 19 June 2014 ..... Last chemo 23 Oct 2014. Started radiotherapy 12 Nov every day in the morning before work for 6 weeks ending 23 Dec 2014. I am now training for this cycle. 

Trust me we can beat this cancer, we just need time, research and funding.

Knowledge is power ..... Let's help raise awareness!

BTW ON 6 MARCH 2015 I was told for the first time there is 'no sign of the Cancer', I just have to get annual check ups now and keep my fingers crossed it doesn't come back.

Thank you x

Charlene
