Sarah’s cosy spa stay

After completing chemotherapy to treat breast cancer, Sarah, 36, celebrated in the most relaxing way possible. She and her partner headed to Hoar Cross Hall Spa for her Special Day, taking time to unwind and enjoy some much needed quality time together.

“It was just what my partner and I needed to reflect on what we have gone through and just enjoy time with each other.”

Sarah’s story 

“Cancer has completely changed my life in all aspects. Although I am coming out the other end of my treatment, I don’t think I will ever be the ‘old’ Sarah again. This makes me incredibly sad. My mental health has suffered, my confidence, I struggle with social situations, I worry constantly about mine and my family’s health, I don’t feel as capable in my job and work and I feel robbed of time with my children.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer when my youngest daughter was five weeks old so it was an incredibly difficult time. Cancer has really impacted what I thought my future would look like.

“I am incredibly grateful for the Special Day spa experience.”

“My Special Day took place the weekend before my last chemotherapy session so I felt positive and happy to be coming to the end. It was just what my partner and I needed to reflect on what we have gone through and just enjoy time with each other and feel like we can start enjoying our life again.

I am incredibly grateful for the Special Day spa experience after having the worst 18 months of my life, it really gave me some quality time with my partner. Willow is just the most amazing charity.”
