A heartbroken mum-of-two has said telling her children about her breast cancer diagnosis was the "hardest thing" she has ever had to do. It was three days after her 40th birthday when Louise Charlesworth got diagnosed with breast cancer at the Royal Derby Hospital.
The mum from Ilkeston said the news came as a "big shock". Mrs Charlesworth was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in June last year.
"It is a fast, very aggressive form of cancer," she said. "When I heard the news, the first thought that went through my head were my children because they are so very young, and I did not know if I was capable to be there for them."
