I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33, I had had a lot of pain in my left breast for many months before finding my lump I had 3 grade 3 tumours in my breast. I was in total turmoil my daughter had just turned 3 the day before being diagnosed, my whole world felt like it was falling apart. That was six years ago and today I am fit and healthy and have just celebrated my daughters 9th birthday a day I wasn't sure I would see. I underwent a mastectomy followed by chemo, my cancer was triple negative so I also opted to have my right breast removed something I have never ever regretted. After 18 months I had tram flap reconsruction and not only got fab new boobs but a flat tummy aswell. My Mum will be 25 years clear this year, I was 15 when she was diagnosed. Breast cancer has played a huge part in my life and my mums and it has brought so many positive things into our lives, we never would have met the people we have met or done some of the things we have done. It's a very hard road to travel down at times but I wouldn't change a thing. Stay positive and believe in your dreams because they can and do come true.
