\n<\/p>\n
Nermina – a former showjumper – bravely wrote on Instagram: \u201cAnd just like that my life changed forever.<\/p>\n
"A few months ago I felt a lump in my left breast and I decided to see a GP who didn\u2019t seem overly concerned.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter some convincing from my mum, I decided to investigate it further as the lump was getting sore and growing.<\/p>\n
"I\u2019m so grateful that I did because on the July 10th I got diagnosed with an early-stage aggressive breast cancer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI will never be able to describe how I felt that day and the days after that.<\/p>\n
"My heart was broken, I was scared and I had so many questions.. I\u2019m healthy and fit so how is this possible for someone of my age?<\/p>\n
"But one question scared me the most and it makes me upset even writing it down – 'Will I see my little princess grow up?'<\/p>\n
"My days were filled with hospital<\/span> appointments every day and there were so many decisions to be made. I had to make some of the hardest decisions in my life."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Nermina is getting through the harrowing and life-changing ordeal thanks to the support of her loved ones – in particular husband Erik.<\/p>\n She said: "I\u2019m in very good hands and I\u2019m positive and I am forever grateful for my husband, our families and my friends who have been with me the last weeks.<\/p>\n "And who kept me going and made me feel so very loved.<\/p>\n "Whenever I look into my little girl's eyes I know I have to be strong and that I will do anything and everything to get through this."<\/p>\n Nermina hopes publicly opening up about her breast cancer battle will encourage other women to get themselves checked out.<\/p>\n The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star said: "I didn\u2019t know if and how to share this with the world but I do know that I want to bring awareness to young woman like me.<\/p>\n "Always listen to your gut feeling and for anyone going through this right now – I\u2019m sending you love and strength."<\/p>\n Nermina received scores of messages of support from her near 80,000 followers, with one saying: "Healing energy<\/span> from me. You shine bright. You can fight it ."<\/p>\n Another said: "My heart thoughts love everything is with you angel beautiful girl I\u2019m so sorry."<\/p>\n And another said: "So sorry to hear this, Nermina, you are strong and beautiful and powerful\u2026you will get through this storm just fine."<\/p>\nMost read in Football<\/h2>\n
