Mortal And Strong - Voice No 62 - Emma H

Introducing the next Voice in the campaign; the beautiful and gentle human that is Emma H. Emma joined us in Leeds to share her story of primary breast cancer. After incidentally knocking her chest Emma noticed one breast was bigger than the other with a subtle lump. Emma tried a watch and wait approach for 6 months and shares how with hindsight she wishes she had been seen sooner. Through treatment Emma's plan was to have immediate reconstruction but when there weren't clear margins, Emma then later needed to go back for another surgery to remove the reconstruction. Another really poignant example of how no two experiences with breast cancer are the same; and how when complications occur this can be a lot more emotionally challenging than people may realise.

Emma's another lovely voice to add to the collection and we are grateful to her for sharing her stunning scars of gold with us.

Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions, led by Dr Liz Murray and photographer Sammy Weston. Produced by the charity @mortalandstrong (No. 1209448)
