Host Laura Boyd speaks with sisters Alison and Michelle about Michelle’s diagnosis after initially mistaking her symptoms for menopause.
Michelle reflects on the shock of discovering a tumour, the fear of walking into The Beatson for the first time, and the tailored clinical and psychological support that guided her through treatment. Together, the sisters discuss the role of family, the compassion of staff, and how the experience strengthened their bond.
Now clear and attending regular check-ups, Michelle also shares the importance of trusting your instincts, seeking GP follow-up, and marking her recovery by raising £13,000 with her team at Strictly Beatson.
