Tests showed that the cancer had spread to other organs throughout the body. Keely – who is now a wife and mother of two little girls, Polly and Tottie – was told by doctors that she had no more than a year to live, reports the Daily Mail. – One night I was just sitting in bed and I felt a little thing under my arm. It was a lump the size of a pea, the Australian told the portal.
The tumor grew very quickly until it was the size of a golf ball
– Keely said.
“I couldn’t calm down for a long time”
The Australian is a carrier of the BRCA1 gene, which increases the risk of developing breast cancer. Therefore, the woman regularly undergoes appropriate tests. However, it is practically impossible to perform them in advanced pregnancy because the test requires the woman to lie on her stomach.
Biopsies taken after Tottie (Keely and Josh’s younger daughter, now 10 months old) were born revealed that Langshaw had “triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).” In an interview with the Daily Mail, she recalled that that visit to the oncologist was “the worst conversation of her life.” Subsequent tests showed that it had metastasized to almost the entire body.
I literally screamed when I heard the news, I screamed out this sound. I don’t even know where it came from. I had to lie down and I couldn’t calm down for quite a long time. Josh was hysterical too
– she recalled.
The story had a happy ending
The Australian decided to undergo several rounds of chemotherapy. She came to her first session with a baby in her arms and her little daughter Polly. Months passed and the family still lived in uncertainty. Keely began taking notes for her husband – wanting to help him prepare for the moment of her death.
It turned out that breast cancer was defeated thanks to chemotherapy. In addition, the changes that were supposed to be cancer metastases throughout the body turned out to be benign and resulted from a rare immunological disease – sarcoidosis. In ultrasound photos, it gives an image similar to cancer. Sarcoidosis causes small inflammatory nodules to form in various internal organs.
The subsequent test results brought indescribable relief and joy to the entire family. However, the 36-year-old decided to protect herself against recurrence in every possible way and underwent a mastectomy. At the same time, she also started treatment for sarcoidosis, which will be a long-term process.
