On their website, they wrote: "Áras an Uachtaráin can confirm that Sabina Higgins yesterday underwent a successful procedure as part of ongoing treatment which she is receiving for breast cancer.""I would like to express my sincere thanks to the doctors and medical staff who are providing me with such expert care in my treatment," she said.
"I would like to take the opportunity of my diagnosis to call on all women to be aware of the symptoms of breast cancer and to seek checks as regularly as they can." "It may come as a surprise to many people to learn that the risk of breast cancer increases with age and that 36% of women diagnosed with breast cancer in Ireland are over the age of 70. While BreastCheck screening runs for women up to the age of 69, I would urge all women over the age of 70 of the vital importance of continuing to look for any potential symptoms of breast cancer on a regular basis and to seek medical checks whenever possible.
Sabina met President Higgins in 1969 at a party in the family home of journalist Mary Kenny. He proposed over Christmas 1973 and they got married the year after.The couple have remained loved up through the years, with the President saying she was "his rock" back in 2010.Join our new WhatsApp community!
