WeCU Episode 2 – A Young Mum’s Journey: Facing Breast Cancer After Giving Birth to her son

Published: November 16, 2024

This powerful video shares the heartfelt and emotional journey of Hannah, a young mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after giving birth to her son.

Faced with the overwhelming responsibilities of caring for her baby boy while processing the shock of her diagnosis, Hannah opens up about her fears, her struggles, and the immense gap in support for women in her position—young mothers struggling with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Hannah’s story highlights how Cancer United became her lifeline, not just physically through rehabilitation but emotionally and mentally as well. Her experience is a moving reminder of the urgent need for more tailored support for young women coping with cancer and motherhood.

A special thanks to Hannah’s employer ‘Travel Places’, whose 29 staff members participated in OUTRUNCANCER and raised nearly £2,000 in sponsorship
