On 7 November 2017 I went to work with a sore back. By lunchtime I felt ill & ended up going home early. By 11pm I was lying on a bed in A&E.
At lunchtime on 8 November 2017 I was diagnosed with #SecondaryBreastCancer aka #MetastaticBreastCancer aged 33.
They gave me 6 months.

But tragically thousands of British people are dying every week of #cancer.
31 British women a day die of #BreastCancer alone.
Yet we are denied access to drugs that could extend our lives. The unfortunately named NICE doesn't deem lives like mine to be worth saving.

@metupukorg believe that it doesn't have to be like this. They believe that women like me are worth investing in.
