Ania is a cervical cancer survivor

26 year old Ania Sherlock was diagnosed with cervical cancer aged just 22.

Two months before her 23rd birthday doctors found a tumour the size of a tennis ball growing inside her.

“No one thinks they’re ever going to be diagnosed with cancer in their 20s. I was one of those people. I was perfectly healthy, or so I thought,” said Ania.

Ania had aggressive treatment consisting of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy but thankfully has been in remission since September 2014.

During her illness Ania used some of the Society’s support services. Our services benefit thousands of people, like Ania, every year.

Funds raised on Daffodil Day allow us to continue to offer support to those who need it most.
