Milou's story

Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy were some of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced. But so was the emotional journey of navigating life after cancer.

At first, I didn’t want my diagnosis to define me. But I soon realised that it meant finding strength, comfort and support in ways I never expected.

Going to Breast Cancer Now’s Moving Forward course was a turning point

The friendships and support I found reminded me just how powerful it is to share our stories. I also took part in a charity walk for Breast Cancer Now. It reminded me how vital awareness and fundraising are to help other people on their own breast cancer journeys. Now, I’m passionate about raising awareness, supporting others and encouraging people to prioritise their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

My wear it pink is going to be an afternoon of celebration

I’m going to have some pink cupcakes and bring together close family and friends to celebrate how far research into breast cancer treatment has gone. All with the aim of raising funds to go even further.

Wear it pink is such a powerful campaign

I don’t think people realise how common breast cancer is. By wearing it pink, people are more likely to educate themselves about breast cancer signs and symptoms. It’s also important to fundraise to support necessary research that can help save lives.

I want to stand with others in this community and to remind people that no one has to go through this alone.
