CASE STUDY Sarah “I’m Sarah and I’m experiencing this horrible disease for the second time in three years. I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2010, a year after my daughter was born. I had a lot of treatment and also had both breasts removed. I started taking tamoxifen and continued until I found a lump in my neck in late 2013, which was biopsied and unfortunately diagnosed as a secondary tumour in my lymph nodes. I’ve been having treatment since January 2014, and thankfully the tumour has shrunk significantly. One day I hope to be cancer free and able to watch my beautiful daughter Isabella grow up. Along with my family and friends, she’s helped me get through my darkest days. That’s why I take part in Race for Life – to help make sure that I’ll be there by her side in the future.”
