Mother and daughter Jan and Fern talk about their shared breast cancer diagnosis, and how they supported each other throughout their experiences.
In this episode, Laura talks to Jan and Fern, a mother and daughter who were diagnosed with breast cancer just weeks apart. Fern shares how her mum's cancer led her to check her own breasts, and Jan talks about the emotional impact of her daughter being diagnosed with the same disease.
“I think that mum’s experience had prompted me to ask a lot more questions... because we were both diagnosed alongside each other, we really could compare the different symptoms, and how different they were.” – Fern
