A mother-of-one who endured more than 100 cycles of cancer treatment and overcame life-threatening sepsis has had her confidence “restored” thanks to an areola tattoo she won in a competition after a skin-sparing mastectomy caused one of her nipples to lose all colour.
Helen Laws, 50, who lives in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, with her son and husband, who she wishes to remain unnamed, discovered a lump on her breast in 2011, which was dismissed by her GP but was diagnosed as cancer two months later when Helen asked for a second opinion.
