Whilst facing my final surgery in the battle against breast cancer, the Bold campaign by Pink Ribbon Foundation lit up both Piccadilly Circus in London and Times Square in New York.

The timing’s surreal – the contrast between one of my most vulnerable moments and the visual celebration of strength.

I never imagined being part of something like this. I’m so grateful and honoured to have played a role in this impactful campaign.

A heartfelt thank you to all involved – the courageous women in front of the lens and the brilliant minds behind the scenes.

Together, we shine brighter! ✨🎀💪

It’s a day I had always thought about but, if I’m honest, I thought it would never come. I’ve had so many routine appointments over the years but something about this one just felt different, I had an awful feeling in my gut.

On the 26/10/22, the day after my 32nd birthday, after having an MRI scan, 2 mammograms, an ultrasound and 4 biopsies, I was told I had Breast Cancer.

After the longest 2 weeks of my life, I now know that it is stage 2 in my right breast and stage 3 in my left breast - I’ve been told I will need a double mastectomy, around 6 months of chemotherapy as well as Herceptin treatment as I have a specific type of cancer in my left breast called HER2 positive.

Writing and hearing the word cancer still makes my whole body tense up. I just want to wake up from this absolute nightmare. Treatment will start quickly (probably within 2/3 weeks), whether that be surgery first or chemo first we don’t yet know.

I have decided to blog my journey because I think it’s so important to raise awareness - I’m 32 and have cancer. There’s a long journey ahead and I know it’s not going to be easy or pretty but I have to try and stay strong.

For those of you who don’t know, my mum has had breast cancer twice and fought it like an absolute superhero. She then found out she carried the genetic BRCA gene so me, my sister and my brother all had to be tested (yes, men can have breast cancer too - it was actually my Nonno who was the carrier). My brother thankfully is not a carrier but my sister and I are and as a result we are considered high risk and have to have an annual MRI and need to check our boobs regularly.

I’m not sure what will happen next if I’m honest or how I’m going to feel, but what I do know is that I have a strong support system around me, my husband, my children, my family and my friends but most importantly I have my mum - the most inspirational person to have by my side throughout this journey.

Please share my story, if I can help at least 1 person then that’s a win for me .. thank you for all your support💞

Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful girl ✨

My sunshine, my little ray of happiness who lights up every room she walks into ☀️

You make me prouder every single day, and I feel so lucky that I get to be your mummy.

Never stop being your wonderful, happy, loving little self. The world is a brighter place with you in it.

10 years since we said I do 🤍

When I look back at these photos, I don’t think either of us could have imagined just how much life would throw at us over the next 10 years.

We’ve been through some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. We’ve faced things that could have broken us, and probably would have broken a lot of couples. There have been times when life has tested us in ways we never expected, but even on the hardest days, it’s always been you and me ❤️

It hasn’t always been easy or perfect, but it’s ours. And I think I’m more proud of us for the difficult years than I am for the easy ones.

10 years later, after everything we’ve been through, everything we’ve overcome and the life and family we’ve built together, there’s still nobody else I’d rather have beside me.

I’d choose you again. Every single time. 🤍

Happy 10th anniversary Treas, I love you 🥂

I’ve waited over a year for a sign from you.

I think today, in your happy place, you finally sent me one 🥺

Miss you, Mama. Always. 🤍 taken in Ravello, Amalfi Coast by @_daniela_roux

Some people tell horror stories about their mother-in-law… but I genuinely think mine was sent straight from heaven. ❤️

My mum absolutely adored you, and one of the things that gives me so much comfort is knowing that she knew I’d be okay because I had you. She knew that you would always be there for me, love me, look out for me and be there for our family - and she was right.

You’re so much more than a mother-in-law to me. You’re family in every sense of the word, someone I can always turn to, and quite simply one in a million. We are all so incredibly lucky to have you.

Today it’s our turn to celebrate you and the amazing person you are.

Happy 60th Birthday to the best mother-in-law I could ever have wished for. I hope you know just how loved and appreciated you are - today and always. ❤️

60 years of you… and what a gift you are to all of us. 🥂✨ by @_daniela_roux

💔 O N E W H O L E Y E A R 💔

A whole year of missing you.
A whole year of wishing I could hear your voice, call you, hug you, tell you something… just one more time.

A whole year has passed, and somehow life has kept moving forward, even though a part of me stood still the day I lost you.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. I see you in so many little moments, I hear you in the things I say, and I carry you with me everywhere I go.

I would give anything for one more day with you.

365 days without you, and a lifetime still to go. I love you and miss you more than words will ever be able to say.

Forever my Mum, forever my best friend, forever living with a broken heart. 🤍🕊️ by @_daniela_roux

A week filled with sunshine, sandy toes, pool days, cocktails, belly laughs, and so much love. 🤍

Our first holiday just the five of us is one we’ll never forget. The most precious memories were made, and if only we could have pressed pause for just a little longer. Until next time… 🌴✨ taken in Gran Canaria España by @_daniela_roux

Growing up, you had the incredible ability to always make it feel like you were there, even when you worked so hard. Some days we barely saw you, but it never felt that way. You always showed up.

Just when I thought I couldn’t admire you any more, you showed up again tenfold. We lost the biggest part of our family, and even through your own grief, you made sure you were there for all of us, just as you always have been.

I know life isn’t the same. I know we all wish we could go back a year. But I’m grateful for us now, I’m proud of us now, and I know Mum would be too. We are the family she built, the family she created, and the family she loved.

Happy Father’s Day to the very best there is.

I love you Pups, more than you’ll ever know, thank you for being you! ❤️ by @_daniela_roux

Even with the biggest piece of the puzzle missing, we still make the most of the time we get together.

Tomorrow, our brother goes back to Argentina after being home for a month 😩

I think this is our first family photo without Mum, and whilst it hurts more than words can say, I know she would be beaming with pride looking at this picture and saying, “My world right there.” ❤️🌍

Life without her will never be the same, but as long as we have each other and keep making memories, we know we’ll continue to make her proud 🕊️💔 by @_daniela_roux

Happy birthday to my sister, my best friend - today we celebrate YOU 🤍

Life has tested us in ways I wish it never had, and losing Mum has been the hardest thing we’ve ever had to face.

It was always us three, and learning to live with that missing piece has been so hard. Adapting to this new normal is something I never imagined we’d have to do, but I’m so grateful that through the darkest days, I’ve had you beside me - the way mum always taught us to be ❤️

We’ve held each other up, cried together, laughed together, and somehow found the strength to keep going. And I know that as long as we have each other, we can get through anything.

I’m so proud of the woman you are and so thankful I get to call you my sister. Thank you for being you 🫶🏼

Happy birthday - I love you always 🤍 by @_daniela_roux
