EXCLUSIVE: Nermina Pieters-Mekic and her husband Erik were put in an 'unthinkable' position when she discovered she had breast cancer while in the early stages of pregnancy
Former Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Nermina Pieters-Mekic says being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer shortly after discovering she was pregnant left her in an unbearable position.
“I was pregnant when I found out I had cancer, it broke my heart we couldn’t keep the baby – nobody should ever find themselves in that unthinkable position,” she said. “I never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen to me. I never get ill, I eat a good diet, I exercise with my horses, I barely drink, I’m very healthy. But cancer doesn’t discriminate. One in seven women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and a lot of those will be young women.
Her and Erik, who wed in 2016, were also told other elements of treatments would be ruled out completely, or delayed, due to their implications during pregnancy. The lumps in her left breast were also growing fast and no one else could make the decision on their behalf, so the couple sought various second opinions from other doctors.
