How I won my battle against breast cancer

How I won my battle against breast cancer
How I won my battle against breast cancer
Some moments in your life you just don't forget….. one night in the spring I was out for a run, had a lovely time, the sun was feeling warm on my skin, and just felt so happy… came home had a shower and found a lump in my breast I had not felt before.I got a doctor's appointment, and then referral to breast clinic, on the same day I was told it was Cancer.A small tumour found really early, should be removed with surgery and radiotherapy and then, that was it… it was so surreal, like it didn't happen to me and I was looking from the outside onto myself.Sadly I am no stranger to cancer cases.
