As an introduction to the series, Amy sits down with Naren to share her story following a breast cancer diagnosis at 32. She discusses her initial shock and how self-checking saved her life. We also hear the profound loss of control she felt post-diagnosis and the unexpected "hard slog" of recovery.
Amy and Naren talk about navigating the different types of breast cancer and the terminology involved, and maintaining control through treatment choices.
We also hear about Amy's driving mission for the series: "to do all I possibly can to raise awareness, break the stigma, and to learn as much as I possibly can about this awful disease".
