A MUM diagnosed with incurable breast cancer fears she won't see her little girl grow up, after she mistook her symtoms for the flu.
If I had access to more information on breast health when I was younger, I may have caught my symptoms earlier"We hope to get to a stage where there's no active cancer in the body, it's not growing anymore but you'd still be living with cancer."My aim is to see my daughter marry, be happy, and live a long life."
Kelly said: "I got a call two days after my biopsies from a Macmillan nurse asking me to come in with a loved one. I knew at that point. "I have no one in the family who has breast cancer on either side but they said they're seeing more and more young people with triple negative breast cancer with no family history."You think of Sarah Harding from Girls' Aloud who had breast cancer. You go through a dark road."My daughter is my drive. My support network has been amazing.
But it was only when her skin began to bruise that she sought medical help, her organs were already failing and doctors had no choice but to put her in a medically induced coma."It got so bad that I couldn’t sleep in a bed. Eventually my skin started to bruise. By now I was terrified.
