Blogging my journey has been my own therapy. I hope you find some comfort in it if your are on this rollercoaster ride with me. I hope my friends and family find comfort in this and understand to how I am feeling.

Sarah's Story

I'm a hard working 30'ing year old with everything I could ask for but August 2017 there was a slight detour, I went "off roading." I was diagnosed with breast cancer. A young fit and healthy 33 year old, with no family history, my life changed in that moment. I will use my blog page to share my journey, but I will not become defined by this, it of course is going to be a huge part of my life for the next months to come, but I’m still that same young woman who loves life.

I ended up in A&E aged 26 with suspected appendicitis on Christmas Eve 2018 and remember being so upset about missing out on festive drinks and family time the next day. Oh how that problem seems so small now!

It was a shock to discover the lump in my breast was malignant. I have no family history.

It was a new normal morning, in these crazy times when I checked my boobs..something I do regularly but probably not regular enough. I found a lump on my left breast.

Back in 2014, when I was about 25, I went to the doctors for a routine appointment. As I was leaving I asked if he could look at a little dark, itchy spot that was on my scalp.

I was 27 years old and a mum to a 5-year-old, when I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma.
Cat

I was diagnosed at the age of 33 with Stage 2B invasive ductile carcinoma and in situ breast cancer.
Crystal

In 2016 I was diagnosed with facial osteosarcoma in the top jaw. I had never heard of a person having cancer in their face, so I felt very isolated and afraid.
Tabitha

I was misdiagnosed in the beginning, with mastitis. At the beginning of lockdown, I pushed for the GP to see me again, I just knew something was wrong.
