"And I thought, do I really want to say goodbye now or am I going to fight this? And I thought, I'm not saying goodbye.
This isn't going to beat me. And my children, I had to be there for them. I mean no-one's as good a mother as I am for them. So I think really, that's how I got through.

"The first 18 months I thought yes, I was fine. And then all of a sudden I started feeling... I don't really want to be driving this car, I really want to be over that bank, but I can't do that "cos the kids are in the car" Anyway, I went off to the doctor and he said "you are suffering from depression and you need to do something about this." So he put me on anti-depressants which I took for a month and hated, then threw them away... but then I met Jan and we got together and formed the group. Anyone and everyone can come - men if they want to.

"I have that reminder every day when I get into the shower and see one breast and a scar. But it doesn't make me feel like death. It makes me feel, I've been there and done that and tomorrow's another day."
