Inspirational TV star and mum-of-two Sally Obermeder found out she had breast cancer the day before her daughter was born. Now, she’s sharing the absolute joy of celebrating a decade since her diagnosis and Annabelle’s birth.
“Today marks 10 years since my life changed forever with cancer,” Sally wrote on Instagram last week in an emotional post.
“I dreamed of today for so long. And now it’s here, it’s all about her. Annabelle.”
The day marked her daughter’s 10th birthday, a moment Sally, 48, feared she might not live to see after learning just before she went into labor that she had stage 3 cancer. Even her doctors couldn’t promise the presenter would survive after surgery revealed a tennis ball-sized tumor in her right breast.
TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY
The joy she felt at finally becoming pregnant after years of fertility treatments was overshadowed by sheer terror after a mammogram found that instead of a blocked milk duct she had advanced breast cancer.
