A brave mother who underwent a bilateral double mastectomy is documenting her journey on her Facebook account Cancer. You lose.
Amanda Stewart decided to cut her chances of contracting cancer by electing to have preventative surgery to remover her breasts.
Stewart, who has a family history of cancer, set up the Facebook page ‘Cancer. You lose’ following her operation on August 6.
She has received thousands of followers and messages of support.
The 33-year-old from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, is proud of her body and hopes that she can be a role model for people who are apprehensive about getting the operation.
Many news outlets have compared Stewart to Hollywood A-Lister Angelina Jolie.
But Amanda says she is just an ordinary mum – though we think she’s helping women across the globe in an extraordinary way.
