'I got breast cancer during pregnancy - like these 6 women, I was horrified I wasn't told sooner'

Last week, an information leaflet I've been working on with the help of East Lancs Teaching Hospitals was finally released into the wild. Organisations across the country including hospitals, playgroups, breast feeding clinics and antenatal classes have requested some of the 35,000 copies I have available, with the digital version landing as far as Australia!

I cannot tell you how fast my little heart was beating when the requests started coming in. I know that we are going to reach so many people and make such an impact on women who might one day try to become pregnant, who already are - and for new mummy's who might not otherwise have noticed anything unusual.
