The former customer relationship manager said: “I was shocked when I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in April 2018 when I was 57 years old.

“I had been going to 
the doctors with a pain in 
my ribs and after being 
wrongly diagnosed with
 pleurisy.

“I was dealt the devastating blow that not only did I have breast cancer, but that it had already spread to my lymph nodes, bones and liver.

“I struggled to comprehend how this had been going on in my own body without me knowing.

“With the help of my friends and family and Breast Cancer Care, I slowly managed to put my life back together.

“I can’t wait to step onto the catwalk at the Breast Cancer Care fashion show.”
