Theresa Kelly was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer this year reallife breastcancer BreastCancerNow
54-year-old Theresa Kelly from Derry, hosted an Afternoon Tea in August 2022, raising over £1,500 for charity Breast Cancer Now.
Theresa’s sister, Sarah was diagnosed in June 2018 with breast cancer. She had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and ongoing treatment. A year later Sarah was told she had no evidence of cancer. Just two weeks later Thereasa received her own breast cancer diagnosis. Theresa continued: “In December 2021 Sarah started to experience gastric-type symptoms which was red flagged to oncology because of her history with breast cancer. Tests revealed she had secondary, incurable, breast cancer.”
Mum-of-two Theresa continued: “Very few charities mention secondary breast cancer, but Breast Cancer Now did. Their online resources were really helpful to me and my family, when we needed to learn more about the disease. I’m an avid baker so when I was on the Breast Cancer Now website and saw the Afternoon Tea event- I know it was something I had to get involved in. I love feeding people with cake, so being able to raise money at the same time was just amazing.
Running for over 20 years, Breast Cancer Now’s Afternoon Tea is one of the charity’s biggest fundraising events. Fundraisers are encouraged to take part in Afternoon Tea at any point in August. Whether it’s a cuppa in the garden or a picnic in the park, Breast Cancer Now are calling on the public to hold an Afternoon Tea and help to raise the money they urgently need to drive forward their life-saving research and provide vital support.
