On Tuesday, the 29th of April 2025 I was given the devastating news that no woman wants to hear. I’m sorry Sally but your biopsy is positive for breast cancer. This was following my three yearly routine mammogram, thank goodness the NHS has such a good surveillance scheme.

I am definitely one of the lucky ones as the cancer was found very early and was not aggressive.

So on 22nd May I had the cancer removed and 2 weeks later received the news I was waiting for, the cancer had not spread to my lymph nodes.

I have now completed my radiotherapy and I am well and truly on the road to recovery so I wanted to do something to celebrate being cancer free and raise a few quid for Prevent Breast Cancer.

The focus of this charity is a commitment to predicting and preventing breast cancer.

National Breast Imaging Academy at Wythenshaw Hospital is currently being built to address the severe workforce shortages within breast imaging in the UK. It will provide cutting-edge facilities to train vital breast specialists, meaning more mammograms, more research and more lives saved.

They have already raised over £3.825 million to date and need just under £75,000 to make the building a reality and open its doors

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
