A mum from Newport found out she had breast cancer just 16 months after her wedding - before being "devastated" by a second diagnosis five years after she was declared cancer-free. Sophie Busson was 31 when she first found a lump in her left breast.
Her GP thought it might be hormonal and Sophie wasn't too worried because she was young, but was booked in for a breast clinic appointment due to a family history of breast cancer. When she got back from a holiday, she was told that she might have cancer.
After a biopsy to confirm doctors' suspicions Sophie was told she had an 8cm tumour in her left breast. Her two children Reggie and Leo were just four and 12 years old at the time. Sophie said she "wasn't prepared for that news at all," adding: "I was terrified that I wouldn't be around to see my children grow up."
