Gemma Hawley became the youngest person in the UK to have a double mastectomy, at the age of 23.
A Coventry mother who beat cancer twice is set to lead Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life after reaching the finals of Miss Great Britain.
Tests showed a shadow on her chest was stage two Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer that had spread to her neck. After having two children, the last thing Gemma expected was a call back from the hospital following a routine smear test in 2018.“This wasn’t one of the several organs I’d been told I was at risk of developing cancer in future, so it was a huge shock."It was absolutely terrifying but so rewarding and empowering as a woman."
Ms Hawley had 18 operations to save her life and rebuild her body, including major surgery to remove her womb and cervix in 2018.
