Breast Cancer Conquered Together

On the 24th December 2015, Denise Coates was told that she had breast cancer. Breast Cancer Conquered Together is about the impact that breast cancer has had, not only on her, but on those around her. It's about hope, it's about awareness of early detection and it's about the support of other inspirational women and a male survivor who have shared their stories and tips. At the forefront of Denise's mind was for our future generations and education.

Denise explores how important her emotional and mental wellbeing was throughout her cancer journey and in this edition, she provides encouragement and different ways of coping with cancer and your mental health.

Denise's breast cancer journey led her to discover her inner determination and resilience, which in turn gave her an overwhelming sense of wanting to give back. Since then, Denise has become a media volunteer for Cancer Research UK and has spoken to community groups and schools.

Breast Cancer Conquered Together is part cancer memoir but also a true story about gaining an appreciation of life and wanting to give something positive back.

"I trust that her story will bring inspiration and hope to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer" Dr. Ruth James, BA, MBChB, FRCS
