Meet Aimee, a primary school teacher & mum.

At just 31, Aimee's life changed in an instant. A primary school relief teacher and mother of two, she discovered a hard lump in her breast during a routine self-check in late 2024. Days later, her fears were confirmed when she was diagnosed with stage 2B ER/PR breast cancer.

"The whirlwind of appointments began immediately," Aimee recalls.
