LUMP

A Story About Breast Cancer

Searingly honest, heart-breaking, often sweary and laugh out loud funny, LUMP is one woman’s rollercoaster ride through the mind meltdown which comes with learning you have breast cancer. From dealing with diagnosis, the endless tests and mind-numbing fear to how and when to tell your child. Coping with physical changes and the impact on your self-esteem and self-confidence together with the sudden realisation life will never be quite the same ever again.

LUMP is a deep dive into the power of storytelling to help us heal and just get your head round the stuff of life. Utterly human and compelling, it’s a unique story which will resonate with anyone and everyone who’s ever had a battle with a life changing event in their lives.
