A woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33 has shared her story in a bid to show that 'it's not just an older person's disease'. Laura Franklin initially put her unusual symptoms down to hormones.
But after feeling a sharp pain in her breast, she went to her doctor. Just a few weeks later, she was diagnosed with the disease.
The mum-of-one from Chorlton is now undergoing six rounds of chemotherapy at The Christie hospital and will need further radiotherapy. She is trying to stay positive after doctors told her the cancer had been caught early.
