EXCLUSIVE: Nermina Pieters-Mekic, who starred Real Housewives in Cheshire, said her biggest fear after her cancer diagnosis was not seeing her toddler daughter grow up
Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Nermina Pieters-Mekic was diagnosed with aggressive early stage breast cancer and said her "heart broke" over her worry for her daughter.
"One night when I couldn’t sleep I sat in Alaya’s nursery," she continued. "I looked at her height chart on the wall, and thought, ‘What if I’m not here to witness this in a few years? What if I don’t see her grow up?’ They couldn’t do all the checks because I was pregnant so I kept thinking, ‘I’ll never forgive myself for not seeing Alaya grow up.’"
After finding a lump in her left breast this summer, Nermina said doctors initially seemed confident it wasn't cancer. She recalled taking Alaya to her doctor's appointment because Erik was at a team training session and she felt positive she'd be receiving good news. Now that doctors are feeling positive that she'll beat her cancer, Nermina is focussing on a bright future with Alaya and Erik.
