Mari Grug has breast cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes and liver.

"I'd like to keep on working but I'll see how I feel as the chemo progresses," she said.Mari, who lives in Carmarthenshire, said managing to work a few shifts at Heno has kept "a bit of normality in my life".

And she said husband Gareth and their three children Steffan, Thomas and Hannah, have been helping her keep positive."They've kept me busy, they keep me going, they have swimming lessons, football training and so on, so that's been great, it's a distraction," she said. 'I've had a lot of messages of encouragement from people who have been through this telling [Gareth]to keep believing, keep the faith, and that helps too.""She's been my role model," said Mari.

"She said to me that finding out you have breast cancer is not the end of the world, but unfortunately, with myself the breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and to the liver so my diagnosis is slightly different to what she had and it's just been quite scary."Mari first found a lump in her breast on 13 April and had an appointment with her GP the following Tuesday.

"They're throwing everything at me, which and I'm glad you know that I'm able to have the chance to fight it."
