Story

This week, I am celebrating 10 years cancer free and to mark this very special milestone I have decided to shave my head for charity on Sunday November 30th at our home in Langham.

I have given this a lot of thought and I am very nervous. But what a luxurious position I am in; I can choose…many women can’t!

10 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer & was told that it was very aggressive. Less than 3 weeks later, on October 13th 2015, I had a total mastectomy including nipple & areola removal followed by reconstruction. Since then I have undergone further treatments including a donut mastopexy.

ALL the money raised will be donated to ‘In The Pink’, a physical rehabilitation programme that is uniquely tailored to meet breast cancer survivors needs and to help them on the road to wellness. In The Pink is part of Cancer Active Recovery Support.
