Mortal And Strong - Voice No. 28 - Pam

Our latest episode of Mortal And Strong - The Podcast is the lovely Pam who is our furthest-travelling Voice. Pam found MAS from Australia and was visiting her original hometown in the UK and travelled to share her story with us. Pam's journey to being diagnosed with secondary lobular breast cancer is a very unusual one and one in which is so important to raise awareness of. When Pam first noticed she had double vision in one eye (and only when looking in a certain direction) initial scans missed the underlying cause. It was only noticing a breast cyst and a skin wrinkle over her breast that the underlying diagnosis of breast cancer was found. The important of recognising any changes within our own body is so important, and it turned out that the double vision Pam was experiencing was in fact breast cancer metastases behind the eye. No surgery was needed, no chemotherapy, no radiation. Pam's secondary lobular cancer is currently held at bay with medications, but has forever changed her life and here she shares her story of how it has made her make the most of life and live to the fullest. A really insightful and important story to share and honoured to have Pam make the effort in her travelling to share this with us!
