'I wasn’t particularly looking... and because I was so early postpartum, I didn’t in any way get alarmed' says Jennifer Wrynne, of the moment she found a lump while showering. 'And it was actually the nurse who was immediately, like, ‘Oh, let me have a look at this''.

Ahead of Daffodil Day this Friday, the award-winning milliner and influencer is sharing her journey with breast cancer. She initially was not worried when she was referred to a breast clinic.

'I very casually went, thinking I was out in the city for the day. I brought the baby with me because again I was kind of like, ‘Oh, this is one of these things. I’m going to run in for two seconds and walk straight back out again, basically.’'

'I got a bit of an eerie feeling off the doctor, just because he was so quiet when he was doing the ultrasound,' Jennifer recalls. 'He wasn’t really talking to me. He was dead, dead silent. I was kind of holding my breath that the baby wouldn’t wake up, I was a bit preoccupied with that. And then he said to me, ‘We’ll do the triple assessment mammograms, the biopsy as well.’ And then ‘I’m going to bring you back in Thursday week and we’re going to discuss the treatment plan.’'

'Cancer came to my head straight away when I heard the word treatment. I just knew it wasn’t as simple as I had thought.'

Given their young ages, the children did not need to be told what their mother was experiencing. 'I wanted to save them from basically everything as much as I possibly could. The motherhood side of things is just panic stations when things set in at the start, for sure.'

Nine months later, she has had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She think she hasn't yet processed it all: 'I actually think I’m a delayed reactor and part of my brain doesn’t actually register that this has all happened.'

She describes an interaction with a pharmacist, post diagnosis, when they referred to her as a cancer patient. 'And I was like, it just stomached me because I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m a cancer patient.’ I actually think it will be about another 12 months before it’s fully registered in my brain what has happened. It’s been a mad year'
