A mother who was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer during the Covid-19 pandemic has seen her tumour shrink after starting a combination of alternative treatments and chemotherapy tablets.
Holly Sherris, from Ingleby Barwick, North Yorkshire, was first diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer aged 24, while she was five months pregnant in 2017.
Holly, 28, underwent a mastectomy followed by eight months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and she gave birth to her daughter Harper, now three-years-old, in the middle of her treatment.
She was in remission when the cancer returned in June last year, and Holly and her husband James, 35, were tragically told it was incurable, with Holly being given a two-year statistical life expectancy.
