The cause is close to home as we rally behind local breast cancer fighter Leah Baylis – business owner, mum of three and wife of South Adelaide Panthers stalwart Jason Baylis.
Leah has a family history of breast cancer, so she knew she had to take proactive steps to keep on top of her breast health.
But the news still came as a huge shock.
“I was diagnosed with a stage 3 hormone receptive breast cancer, that was spreading really aggressively and growing rapidly in size.
It hadn’t spread to my lymph nodes yet, but if I had put off my scan and gone a couple months later, it would’ve been a completely different diagnosis.”
Coincidentally THE PINK SLAM will be one year to the day of Leah’s diagnosis. Let’s get behind her by wrapping ourselves in pink or donate!
Upon hearing those fateful words, the decision was made to immediately have a double mastectomy, where both breasts are removed to ensure not only the cancer is removed, but there is less risk of it returning.
Thankfully, the cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes, sparing Leah from the need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Leah’s outlook is now filled with positivity, driven by the knowledge that early detection and research can make a significant difference.
Leah is a proud ambassador of THE PINK SLAM to help raise awareness and vital funds for breast cancer research.
“I have a six-year-old daughter who is at very high risk, so we need to invest in research so the outlook is even brighter for her in the next 20 years.”
