A Dundee mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer just months before her 40th birthday, said she felt “incredibly privileged” to open up Scotland’s largest Cancer Research UK shop.
Michelle Harrow 41, of Liff, vividly recalls the moment the doctors diagnosed her with cancer.
On February 4 2019, she said herself and her husband Ronnie Harrow, 49, had their life turned upside down with the diagnosis.
“The hardest part was telling my daughters”, Michelle said.
However, with the help of her husband, and two daughters, Samantha, 22, and Beth, 12, Michelle got through a surgery and then chemotherapy treatment.
After a gruelling 15 sessions of radiotherapy, Michelle managed to make it out for a celebratory lunch in July of that year to celebrate her 40th.
