A mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer when her daughter was just months old has said she spent her maternity leave fighting for her life instead of bonding with her newborn.
Anna Priest, 41, noticed a lump at the start of 2024 while she was breastfeeding her youngest child Ivy, who was four months at the time but is now two. However, she said she had to wait until Ivy started to wean, which was still premature, before medical examinations confirmed her breast cancer diagnosis in May of that year.
