Mortal And Strong - Scars of Gold - Voice No. 68 Tor

Introducing another wonderful voice and the bubbly and optimistic soul that is Tor. Tor shares how being a mum of two with her own business in her early 30's was brought to a halt with her primary breast cancer diagnosis. Each interview in this series offers a unique perspective and this interview shares how it was Tor's husband who first found the lump. We discuss the importance of having an open communication and discussing the awareness of red flag symptoms as sometimes it may be your partner who first notices things which could have been the difference between curable or incurable. Tor discusses at length how she approached sharing the information with her two boys and navigated hair loss and chemotherapy whilst trying to be a mum.Another important interview providing toolkits of hope, support and ways to navigate this life changing diagnosis at a young age. This is also a poignant reminder that health awareness is something to be open about within the family so that within a couple each person can feel open to raise concerns about one another's health. Thank you to Tor for being another wonderful voice in our Scars of Gold health campaign. 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.
