After finding out the horrifying news, she was forced to start gruelling treatment while heavily pregnant
A mum-of-two thought she was just feeling unusual symptoms because she was seven months pregnant. Then she found out she was living a nightmare.
Thankfully, baby Rebekah was born safely and recently celebrated her 14th birthday. Lindsay was given more chemotherapy following the birth followed by surgery to remove her left breast and then radiotherapy. Now, Lindsay is backing a Cancer Research UK campaign to help fund more big breakthroughs in research.
She said: “James and I were determined to remain positive throughout my pregnancy with Rebekah. I was incredibly fortunate to have such amazing support from my family, friends and the church community. At the time, the oncology team in Bolton hadn’t dealt with someone who was pregnant with cancer, so it was a scary time. But I was in safe hands and received excellent care every step of the way.“But advances in research are fantastic.
“We have been very open with our children about my cancer treatment and we will discuss the BRCA gene with them when they are older. I feel incredibly lucky to see them both growing up.”
