Taking a much needed holiday.

A word from Sue

“ It was a big shock finding out I had breast cancer. Like everyone I thought it was something that happened to other people, especially at such a young age. Being a nurse I should have known better but we all think we’re immune. After getting over the shock all I could think about was my children and how much they need me. I needed to stay as positive as possible and keep life as normal as possible for them. With the help of Phil and my family and friends we were able to do that. Now we hope and pray that I am cured and it will never come back.

That’s the hardest thing about cancer, is not knowing and getting back to a normal life knowing life will never be the same again.Thanks to research the medical care of cancer has come such a long way in the last 10 yrs and more and more people are being cured and surviving for a long time. Now one in 9 women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some stage in their life. I believe research is the key to future cures. Hopefully one day people will no longer have to feel the immense fear when cancer is diagnosed.”
