Meet Shannon. Shannon’s journey started when she was lost her mother to breast cancer at the age of 28. For years, Shannon lived in fear, believing it was imminent that she, just like her Mum would be diagnosed with breast cancer. When she was 46 that fear was realised; she was the exact same age as her Mother was at her diagnosis.
Due to her mother’s history, Shannon had been having regular mammograms and they caught the cancer early, she had a lumpectomy, radiotherapy and was told it wasn’t likely to come back. Two years later, it came back, however the crazy thing was, it was this exact time frame to which her Mum had her recurrence.
Cancer has been at the back of Shannon’s mind for years, however now having survived breast cancer twice, she shares what she has learnt through her journey and how looking back she wishes she didn’t allow the cancer to consume her with fear. She now focuses on how it brought her closer to her family and in hindsight, not having hair didn’t stop her from enjoying her son’s wedding.
