“I’m still here 12 years after being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. “I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. I did the classic thing: I’d been checking myself in the shower and I found a pea-sized lump.

I remember it vividly. “I went to the doctor and was originally told I was fine. I felt uncomfortable about it, though, so I ended up going back and getting a referral to the breast clinic.

“I was then given a mammogram, and we found out that it was actually a small lump covering a much larger lump. “I needed a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It was a rough year but I got through it.

“As I was coming up to my five-year ‘all clear’, I started feeling really tired all the time and just not myself. It was then discovered that I had secondaries in my liver. “I needed a liver resection, which was quite brutal, but I’m still here 12 years later, so I celebrate that I was able to access treatment.
