Hollyoaks star Ali Bastian has shared her terror after discovering she had cancer just months after having her second child.
Presuming she had mastitis, she went straight to the A&E as it was a bank holiday weekend, however when antibiotics didn't clear the lump, a scan revealed she in fact had cancer. Ali revealed how the nurses in Cork had even helped her tell her children, she was ill, a conversation every parent would fear.
"The Irish Cancer Society has been such an invaluable support for me and my family," says Ali. "You could say they were my first port in this storm." "It's predicted one in two of us will hear the words 'you've got cancer' in our lifetimes. Each and every person should experience the same level of support and care that I had, I want to pay it forward, so I am encouraging everyone to support Daffodil Day in whatever way they can."
