Faced with cancer, the 53-year-old proposed to her long-term partner, but faced the possibility of a sizeable scar at her wedding.

 

As I looked in the mirror on on my wedding morning, I couldn’t believe the reflection that was looking back at me.

I felt like a beautiful bride – which was something that I had never thought was going to be possible.
