Ruth Watkins, a local business woman and single mother of one, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2016.  After completing treatment she is absolutely determined to ensure that her year ends on a much more positive note.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ruth underwent a mastectomy and went through some very challenging times. Despite this she managed to remain positive for her own sake and also for her daughter, who is 17 years old and has already lost her father to cancer.

Shortly after her operation, Ruth, began focusing once again on her jewellery and accessories business Absolute Exclusive, having something positive to concentrate on helped her through 18 sessions of radiotherapy treatment.  There is no doubt she would have found the recovery process much more difficult if it weren’t for the Linda Jackson Macmillan Centre at Mount Vernon.

RUTH WATKINS, FOUNDER OF ABSOLUTE EXCLUSIVE

“The dedicated staff and volunteers, who work at the Linda Jackson Macmillan Centre have been absolutely wonderful, they help you through what can be an incredibly anxious time when you are feeling extremely vulnerable.”

“There are always lots of medical people around to help during your cancer treatment but once your treatment has ended, your next check-up can seem an awfully long time ahead. That’s one area the Linda Jackson Macmillan Centre comes in and provides help and support to people who are recovering from cancer but are still very worried about what the future holds and whether their cancer might come back.”

“I wanted to stay positive for my daughter, after losing her father to cancer she was extremely concerned and with help from the Linda Jackson Macmillan Centre I was able to remain in control and look forward to a bright future for us both.”

“Now I’m hoping to do something for them because they’ve helped me so much and hopefully the ‘Fabulous You’ Beauty, Health and Style event on Sunday October 30^th will be a big success. We’ll be giving 50% of the price of tickets straight to the charity to help them continue doing their wonderful work.”

Tickets are just £5 and can be bought on the day or in advance.
