Gemma was just 27 years old when she had to deliver devastating news to her children, Haylee and Will. She had been diagnosed with HER-2 positive, an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer.
Gemma remembers the first sign—her nipple was very itchy and immediately made an appointment to see her GP. She didn’t imagine for a moment it would be breast cancer.
It was an enormous shock, but for women like Gemma there’s an even greater shock to come. Despite all the progress that’s been made in breast cancer treatment, there are forms of breast cancer that are extremely aggressive and, all too often, come back—and then it is incurable.
Gemma can’t plan for the future at all. All she can do is live in the moment and treasure every day she has with her husband Scott and Haylee and Will.
That’s why we urgently need to raise funds to support research into new ways of treating aggressive breast cancers that threaten the lives of women like Gemma—and make their children fear they’re going to lose their mum.
