“I want to be here for all their birthdays.”
Erin was 13 weeks pregnant when she woke up one morning with a swollen armpit.
After having an ultrasound and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.
Erin is now cancer-free. But she still lives in fear that she won’t be around to see her children grow up.
“They need me. It’s vital that I survive for them. I want to be here for all their birthdays, and have them celebrate mine with me,” she said.
With your help Erin doesn’t need to fear the future — or leaving her children without a mother.

HERE FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE TODAY. HERE FOR LIFE.
Change the future of cancer by donating.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in Australian women, with one in eight Australian women diagnosed with it by the age of 85.
Over 20,000 Australian women are being diagnosed with breast cancer every year. And sadly, more than 3,100 women will die from the disease this year.
That’s why breast cancer research needs funding. Cancer Council NSW needs to find the answers. And we need your visionary help to do it.
Thanks to generous support from people like you, Associate Professor Croucher and his team are developing vital new treatments for advanced breast cancers like Erin’s.
