By taking part in Feel Better Month this June, your support will ensure that many more women, men and teens undergoing cancer treatment can benefit from our wellbeing workshops, just like Skye.

Skye, 41, a mum of six from London, first discovered a lump on her breast when she stopped breast feeding her youngest child, 26 month-old Suraya.

She said: “I showed it to my mum, she thought it was nothing, but I then showed it to my doctor, who referred me to the breast clinic for some further tests; and it was at that point when I realised it was something more serious.”

Following a mammogram, ultrasound and then a biopsy, it was confirmed that Skye had breast cancer in her milk ducts, and two weeks later, she had a lumpectomy.

Skye was soon told that it was very likely that the cancer would come back later in time (having had her oncotype score back on the tumour which was removed) and chemotherapy and radiotherapy were recommended as part of her treatment plan.

She has completed chemotherapy and is now receiving radiotherapy.

She said: “My mental and emotional state went a bit downhill when I found out I had to have Chemo. You see things on TV, and it’s weird, because it is nothing like that.

It was a lonely journey. As much as I have many friends and family; my husband, my kids, and my mum – during covid times going through treatment I was alone; so, you have to build a lot of resilience and tough skin.

I was anxious before having chemo but felt at ease in the hospital as the staff were so kind and patient. You also get to meet other people having chemo and hear their stories. But I was feeling emotional, as not everyone will get to ring that bell after treatment."

During chemotherapy, Skye felt so weak, that her daughter, Ria, aged 10, would help her with her personal care in and out of the bath.

She said “Physically it took a toll on my body. I wouldn’t want to see anyone go through that. It’s so disempowering. I lost my hair and I also put on weight because I was on steroids to manage the pain.”

During treatment, Skye attended a Look Good Feel Better Skincare and Makeup workshop.

She said: “It really helped me in giving me the tools and skills to look a bit more human if I wanted to go out to make me feel a bit more prettier. It made me feel special, a lot more special."
