Sophie Busson had only been married for 16 months when she found a large lump in her breast. As she was only 31, her doctors said it was unlikely to be cancerous, but following extensive tests their worst fears were confirmed.
Six sessions of chemotherapy soon followed, as well as a left-side mastectomy and 15 sessions of radiotherapy. The mum-of-two also had further surgery for cancer in her lymph nodes.
"It was a huge shock when I heard the words 'you have cancer'. I was terrified I wouldn't be around to see my children grow up," recalled Sophie, who was diagnosed in 2017.
