To set the scene, Becksy was a late 20's, fit, professional dancer, living in busy London with her best friend. Dreaming of a career in dance, teaching fitness classes and auditioning for the biggest shows in town, Becksy really was living her best life. Until one day, whilst performing a routine self-check, Becksy found a pronounced lump in her right breast - suddenly everything changed.
With encouragement from her boyfriend Dean, family and friends, Becksy visited the GP, who referred her to the hospital. Whilst there, she had ultrasounds, followed by a mammogram and a biopsy. Facing her most challenging life chapter yet, the two week wait for the results felt never-ending.
On hearing her diagnosis, all of her fears were confirmed. Becksy had breast cancer aged just 29 years old. A long and draining six months ensued with Becksy undergoing a lumpectomy, followed by fertility treatment, then four rounds of chemotherapy and a course of radiotherapy.
