A woman who has opted to have a double mastectomy because of a high risk of breast cancer shed six-and-a-half stone following weight-loss surgery.
Sarah McAvinchey, 29, said, “the most important thing I have learned is not to equate weight with happiness”.
Her mother was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer when Sarah was 13 and it was discovered it was caused by a mutation of the BRCA1 gene.
