It was 2003 when I first discovered I had a lump. Immediately after the breast team told me I had Cancer and that I'd be having a mastectomy within a fortnight.

I thought the worst. That I was going to die and never see my children grow up. But after having my mastectomy in July I had my reconstruction in the October. Then I had a new breast and a new nipple the following April and I felt as if someone had given me a pat on the back and said ‘there you go, its all over’.

I do have up and down days but it’s made me realise life is for enjoying and that’s just what I'm going to do.
