Talk to the Headscarf
Imagine you're thirty-two, married with two small children, and you find out you're carrying a deadly cancer gene? That was me in August 2005 when I discovered I had the BRCA 1 Gene. I chose to have a double mastectomy and both ovaries removed, which reduced my risk to 5 per cent.
I was just dressing in my victory dance outfit when my worst fears were realised. Cancer struck anyway. I've now battled and slayed cancer six times. Talk to the Head Scarf is my story about how I lived, laughed and overcame some the the toughest times in my life.
If you know someone affected by cancer, or if you are a fellow 'cancer club member' I know you are scared. I was too. But you are not alone. I am still here. I am living proof that, against all odds, life can and does carry on.
The score so far - Emma 6 - Cancer 0
