TARAH’S STORY
Tarah was just 27 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. As a healthy mum of an 18 month old little boy, she was devastated by the diagnosis.
“The possibility that I might not be able to breastfeed again, or have another child was devastating,” said Tarah.
Following her diagnosis, Tarah had a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and was prescribed the Estrogen blocker, Tamoxifen. After her treatment, Tarah went into remission and decided to make her health a priority. She worked hard to get back into shape and after five years in remission, they miraculously fell pregnant for a second time, finally giving their son his wish of a little sister.
Tarah regularly exercises, taking part in hot yoga, cycling and walking. She also maintains a healthy diet to keep her feeling fit and energised so she can keep up with her two children.
