Mortal And Strong - Voice No 59 Nikki S

Another wonderful episode with a beautifully light hearted and life-affirming soul that is Nikki. Nikki shares how her life as a mum, teacher and wife was turned upside down by her breast cancer diagnosis. Nikki is such a vibrant soul who is honest about the side effects of chemotherapy, how she took a holiday to Disneyland Florida in between chemo and radiotherapy, and how she approached limiting what information was shared with her 5 year old daughter whilst also preparing information to share with her for the future. Nikki's story is full of messages of strength and hope, addressing social stigmas of the disease and how others around someone affected can help and provide support in alternative ways. Thank you to Nikki for sharing her story and being part of our campaign.Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign putting the spotlight on people facing their mortality; those living with incurable or life changing conditions at a young age.
