After nearly 18 months of gruelling breast cancer treatment, Jess Parsons finally got the news she hoped for late last year - her tumour was gone.

'It was an incredibly emotional moment,' says the 38-year-old who works in human resources. 'I was crying bucketloads. It had been touch-and-go, a year-and-a-half of not knowing if I would see my two children grow up, go to university or get married.'

But just five weeks later, in early January, Jess, from Bath, was given devastating news. She had developed cancer again, this time in her other breast. What's more, it was a completely different cancer and unrelated to her first diagnosis.

Jane Murphy, senior clinical nurse specialist at Breast Cancer Now, says: 'Getting breast cancer before the age of 50 is uncommon in itself, so to get a diagnosis twice in such a short time is extremely rare. I have never seen a case like this.'

Not only was the event a medical anomaly, it was also a crushing blow to Jess and her family, who had only just celebrated her clean bill of health and begun to plan for a cancer-free future.
