Popular Leitrim blogger and milliner Jennifer Wrynne has announced that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, just months after having her fourth baby.
Jennifer shared the news ahead beginning treatment this week.
The 36-year-old said she discovered a lump “by complete accident” and counts herself lucky for detecting it so early.
“The past few days have been a complete blur,” she said.
“I’m nervous, scared, and overwhelmed… but more than anything, I’m grateful.”
Jennifer said she was counting her blessings for finding the lump, for her nurse and local GP for acting so quickly and that she was disgnosed, not any of her children or family or friends.
“My first step is surgery this week, followed by treatment in the weeks ahead. It won’t be easy but I’m feeling strong and positive,” she told followers.
She urged all her followers to do her one favour, and do a self breast check.
She said: “I’m embarrassed to admit that, at 36 years old, I had never checked mine. I only found the lump by complete accident in the shower. I was so lucky. Early detection really does save lives.”
Award-winning designer Jennifer and her husband Colm have four children aged four and under. In March, they welcomed their newest arrival, baby Amelia Rose, who was christened two weeks ago.
