Sunday Brunch presenter Morgan McGlynn Carr has been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at the age of 38.

Sharing a photo of herself from her hospital bed, she wrote:: "On the eve of my daughter's first birthday, I found a lump in my right breast. I'd recently stopped breastfeeding and assumed it was related. But my husband made me promise to go to the doctor first thing Monday - and, by pure chance it happened to be CoppaFeel! Week. My feed was full of women talking about breast cancer.

"The GP said it was definitely breastfeeding-related. The breast clinic consultant said she was 99% sure it was nothing. I got a third opinion and that decision saved my life... Trust your gut. Always."

Revealing she received her diagnosis last October, Sunday Brunch's resident cheesemonger continued: "In October 2024, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It was nothing short of earth-shattering.

"I was given a week before chemo to get my ducks in a row, which included chopping my hair off and IFV and egg retrieval, something I'm incredibly grateful I was able to do."
