Abbie is determined to be around for her children
A single mum from Blackburn has vowed to fight for her life for the sake of her two young children after she was diagnosed with cancer aged just 29.
"I was offered egg-freezing in case I want more children in future, but by the time they caught the cancer in my breast it was already stage 4. I’ve already got two babies who need me - they couldn’t cope without their mum.” Her ordeal started last August when Abbie noticed a stinging, burning pain in her right armpit. She saw her GP, who dismissed her concerns and passed it off as a gym injury. But the next month when Abbie felt a pea-sized moving lump in her breast, she insisted on being seen again, and this time was referred to the breast clinic for a scan.
“I was terrified - I thought I was going to faint,” says Abbie. “The one tiny bit of hope I was holding onto was that the doctors said cancer that spreads to the bones is more treatable than if it’s in an organ.”
