Today is Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day, and we’d like to introduce you to Pauline.

Pauline was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer in 2022 and treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy. Sadly, Pauline’s cancer metastasized and is now incurable. Pauline continues with treatment to manage her symptoms.

Pauline has accessed support via ACS since her primary diagnosis through our transport service, counselling and has attended many of our support groups. When asked how she has benefitted from our services, Pauline commented:
“I now attend Ayrshire Cancer Support’s peer support group which has helped immensely since this secondary diagnosis. I now class the women and men I have met on these courses and at monthly groups as friends and have WhatsApp groups with them for extra support.”

When asked what advice she would give to someone else affected by cancer, Pauline commented:
“Please use ACS for services and support. You meet people in similar circumstances who can relate to your situation.”

We’re incredibly grateful to Pauline for sharing her story with us. If you are affected by cancer and would like to find out more about our support services, we’re here for you. Contact us today to find out more🧡
