'[It] has allowed me to enjoy my life and spend this quality time with my daughters doing the sport we love'
A NI woman has told how breast screening saved her life. 52-year-oldMichele Cowan lives in Newtownabbey with her partner Sean and daughters Chloe, 24, and Nicole, 19.
The friends went along again and were pleased to receive clear results. It was another two years later in April 2017, when Michele was 47 she attended for her third screening that something was detected by Action Cancer and she was then referred on for further investigation. She said: “I tried to keep myself busy for those three days but it was incredibly difficult not knowing for sure what I was dealing with. I spoke to family and friends and this helped but I decided not to tell my younger daughter Nicole until my diagnosis was confirmed.”
“I then went back to work. This is how I deal with things. Normality allows me to cope. Otherwise, I’d have just sat and gone to pieces. My brain would have gone into overdrive, I needed a distraction," she said. “In May of this year I had my five year mammogram and received clear results, then on 4th July I had my five year oncology review where they recommended all medication to be stopped.
