"As most of you will know this time last year, I was diagnosed with breast cancer thanks to a regular mammogram. Then ensued what can only be described as a wild old ride …... Diagnosis, COVID, Shingles, Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy and the awful discovery that I had a lot of white hair just waiting for an excuse to come forth!

I was fortunate to receive exceptional care from the dedicated staff at the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre (CPMCC) throughout my treatment.

This is me at my last treatment session in January. Can you tell how happy I was? And I was even happier to hand back the lovely gown!!!! Thank you for your support, and don’t forget to book that mammogram! Early detection can save your life."
