I believed there was no way I would become a mother

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2013 at the age of 33.

Following my treatment, I had some fertility tests and was given the heart-breaking news that I would never be able to have children. I was devastated.

At a Younger Women Together event I met a fertility consultant who said that the tests I had may not have been reliable, as they omitted my cancer treatment.

Fast forward a couple of years, my team agreed I could take a break from tamoxifen.

I took fertility tests again and they proved positive. A year later I gave birth to my son, Monty.

Had I not gone on the Younger Women Together event I would have believed my consultant that there was absolutely no way I would become a mother.

I would have never have taken a break from my medication, and I would not now be enjoying my gorgeous little boy.

The Younger Women Together event was life-changing for me. Meeting other younger women going through the same illness and worrying about the same things meant it was the first time I didn't feel alone in my diagnosis.
