Jothie Walford can still remember the GP’s exact words to her: “I’m not going to lie to you, it’s breast cancer“‘. She can also recall how her brain was immediately flooded with uncertainty, fear and embarrassment.

‘I remember thinking “am I going to die? Is this it? Is this my life? Is this the end?’” the 50-year-old tells Metro.

Jothie was also overwhelmed with feelings of guilt and shame. Being a mum of two girls – one who was doing her A-Levels at the time – she says her instinct was to think about ‘everyone else’ and how it would impact them.

It was just a few days earlier that Jothie had found a lump near her left armpit. Thinking little of it, she booked in at her local doctors’ surgery and went to the appointment on her lunch break, taking a work friend with her.

Jothie, who is the Managing Director of appliance manufacturer Gtech, remembers them both immediately ‘bursting into tears’ when her GP said she thought the lump was cancer.

Within two days, Jothie had booked an appointment with a consultant for further tests.

‘Obviously, it’s embarrassing, because you don’t usually take your top off [in front of a stranger]. But you think – right, I have no choice, I just have to get on with it,’ she says.

The consultant told Jothie he didn’t think the lump was ‘anything to worry about’. However, when she explained that her GP was worried that the lump could be cancerous, he booked her in for a precautionary biopsy and a mammogram.

Jothie adds: ‘I went back the following week for the results by myself, because I was so confident that there was going to be nothing wrong with me.’

Instead, the consultant told her that the tests showed she had stage two, grade two breast cancer. ‘I was in shock. Then I thought about my family – and with that came a feeling of embarrassment,’ she admits.

Jothie’s parents were first generation immigrants from the Punjab, in Northern India, who moved to the UK in the early 1960s and set up a manufacturing business. She explains that her initial feelings of shame came from knowing how certain medical diagnoses within the Indian community could be perceived, particularly cancer.

‘It’s like if you talk about it, you’re inviting it in,’ says Jothie. ‘There’s this focus on respect and family reputation. Back in the day you’d have things like arranged marriages, and it’s thought that if you have cancer, you have bad genes. You weren’t to mention it, because the whole family would be tainted.’

She adds that the shame is also reinforced by the idea that illness can be ‘spoken into existence’.

‘It’s a bit like manifestation,’ Jothie explains. ‘You don’t talk about cancer because if you do, [it is believed that] it will happen.’

Research from Metro and the Diversity Standards Collective shows that 56% of South Asian women have felt pressured to keep health concerns private due to fear of community judgment. This figure rises to 62% among women over 35.

Meanwhile a feeling of shame or embarrassment ranked second to the that of being a burden to others, with more than half of South Asian women saying this factor made it difficult to talk openly about their health.

Jothie knew that any cultural embarrassment would be heightened by the type of cancer she had.

‘Because they are sexualised, you don’t talk about your breasts; you don’t talk about periods. They’ve always been thought of as private, and shameful,’ she says.

Due to such stigma, Jothie admits she didn’t share the news with her family straight away.

Following her initial diagnosis, she underwent various tests to find out if the cancer was anywhere else in her body. The waiting period was the worst time, Jothie says, as she can remember questioning ‘every ache and pain’, until she received a call confirming the cancer had not spread.

Her surgeon recommended Jothie have a mastectomy and a complete removal of all her lymph nodes, which she agreed to. ‘Because the lumps were so big, he didn’t know if he was going to save my breast or not. But it becomes irrelevant. You’ve got to be alive.’

She also knew that it was time to share her diagnosis with her family – although it was difficult finding the words.

‘I felt like I had done something wrong,’ Jothie remembers, explaining that older members of the community sometimes think that a person diagnosed has ‘sinned’ in their past, ‘causing’ the illness.

‘I didn’t actually say it was cancer straight away when I told my parents. I said there was a lump in my arm. I told my mum and dad together, but I didn’t want to talk about my breasts in front of my dad.’

A few weeks later, Jothie decided she needed to be completely honest and say the word to her parents. ‘I said, “look, it’s cancer”,’ she remembers. ‘I think they were in shock. They didn’t say anything.’

In May this year, Jothie had her first operation. ‘My surgeon saved the skin of my breast, but he had to scoop out the rest like a melon,’ she explains.

A temporary implant was fitted, and Jothie recovered for six weeks post-operation.

From biopsies taken in Jothie’ surgery, the doctors found that her cancer was Oestrogen-based, meaning her body produced too much of the hormone. Around 70% of breast cancers are caused by this hormone excess.

The next step was radiotherapy and throughout her various tests, surgeries and treatments, Jothie continued to work when she could. ‘I like to keep busy. I think work got me through it. It gave me something to focus on, rather than just the cancer,’ she says.

Soon after she was diagnosed, Jothie pitched the idea of the ‘Power Through Everything’ campaign to Gtech’s CEO Nick Grey, in a bid to ‘give something back‘.

The idea was to maintain hope throughout a diagnosis, based on Jothie’s own determination to keep a sense of normality — through things like going to work — despite her condition, which she continues to undergo treatment for.

‘I realised how many people were impacted and how many women were going through the same nightmare as me,’ she says. ‘I knew I had a fantastic platform being MD of Gtech so wanted to do something to help others going through the same. 

‘It has really got more women talking and reminding them to check their breasts and underarm area, as I never did. It is so important.’

In July, Gtech launched the project, with a pink AirRAM3 vacuum at its heart — a special-edition, pink handheld vacuum cleaner.

Over the next year, the company aims to raise £100,000 for charities Breast Unit Haven and Macmillan Cancer Support, both of which provided support for Jothie through her recovery.

Now, Jothie wants to use her platform to educate and encourage people to face the fact that ‘cancer does happen’ and destigmatise medical diagnoses in the Indian community.

‘Still, to this day, my parents have never said the word cancer.Instead, they ring me and say “How are you? How’s your arm?”

‘It was sad. I was upset in the early days, because usually you’d speak to your mum about something liket his, but I didn’t feel I could discuss it with her,’ she says.

‘You don’t have that element of sharing your story or knowing [another person] who went through it, because it’s shameful, and a secret.

‘As far as I’m concerned, I’m the first to have cancer in my whole extended family. But I don’t know [for certain], as it’s never talked about.’

Jothie is also keen to share her story as she knows that stigma can prevent awareness of family history, which is especially vital, as breast cancer can be hereditary.

‘The impact is, by the time Indian women are diagnosed, it’s much later. They end up with a higher risk of complications, and a lack of emotional support,’ she explains.

With one in two people experiencing cancer in their lifetime, Jothie says it’s vital for all women to be breast cancer aware and self-check.

‘It’s the most prevalent cancer in the Indian community, and for women. If I hadn’t accidentally found that lump, it would have carried on growing.’

She adds that if someone does get a cancer diagnosis, the most important thing is to not blame yourself. ‘It can happen; it’s nothing to be embarrassed of, and it’s nobody’s fault.’

Gtech are hosting a charity ball on March 7 to raise money for breast cancer. For more information click here.

‘We had an incident recently where a bride had lost three stone in the space of about 24 weeks,’ says bridal store owner Shannon Martin.

Dieting before the big day is nothing new for brides, who have long felt the pressure to slim down before they say ‘I do’. But weight loss jabs have upped the ante, says Shannon, causing ‘heightened stress’ for everyone involved.

‘A stone is about the equivalent of a dress size for us and a lot of the time dresses can be taken down a size or two, but three dress sizes is too drastic – it just wasn’t ever going to fit properly, so she had to buy a completely new dress,’ Shannon, who owns Dotty Bridal in Wakefield, tells Metro.

‘Dramatic body changes in a shorter period mean that dresses which once fit perfectly during fittings can suddenly require extensive, complex alterations or in some cases, cannot be adjusted enough to fit safely or beautifully.’

According to the 2025 Wedding Report by Bridebook, the average price of a wedding dress in the UK is currently £1,500, although some will pay tens or even hundreds of thousands for bespoke and couture creations.  

And some brides are now forking out thousands on top of this for a last-minute replacement dress, after taking injectable medications for weight loss, like Ozempic and Mounjaro.

Shannon claims the rise of weight loss jabs is causing a ‘growing issue’ for the wedding dress industry. 

The biggest problem occurs when brides start using weight loss jabs during the alteration process, she says, as it’s a time when weight should ideally remain quite consistent.

‘Alterations start 12 weeks before the wedding, but if brides are losing weight throughout that process, six weeks later the sizes might be completely different. This means the seamstress would have to do a re-alteration, which is like starting the whole process over from scratch again,’ Shannon explains.

‘It’s so costly and brides just aren’t realising this, it’s making every single alteration take weeks and weeks longer than it has to be.’

As such, Dotty Bridal’s in-house seamstress has had to make some major changes to the way she works.

‘She’s been doing her job for 36 years and she’s never had to implement terms and conditions before, but she’s had to bring them in because of this.’

And she’s not the only one – Shannon has also had to introduce a new customer policy.

‘We’ve put new measures in place within the last month, so now when a bride buys a dress, if she makes it clear to us that she’s taking weight loss medication, we have to ask her to sign a waiver that says if she loses a drastic amount of weight before her dress comes in, we can’t be held liable,’ she explains. ‘You can imagine it could cost us so much if brides are having to buy a second dress.’

Shannon continues: ‘If brides want to use weight loss medication, that’s absolutely fine, but they either need to tell us about it beforehand or start on the medication earlier, before they buy their dress.’

But getting brides to communicate openly about their weight loss journey is easier said than done, as it’s not something many feel comfortable sharing.

‘A lot of brides don’t want people to know they are taking weight loss medication, and if they’ve not made it clear to us during their appointment, it becomes really tricky because we can’t just ask them if they’re taking it – why would we ask that question if they’ve not brought that to light?’

The ‘tricky’ situation is something Shannon says she and her team are in the midst of navigating.

As such the business is having to try and find other ways ‘counteract’ the impact of Ozempic and Mounjaro.

‘We try and hold off measuring the bride until the last minute in most cases, but this does put pressure on us and on the dress designers,’ she adds.

Ayesha Bashir, a weight loss specialist and prescribing pharmacist at Chemist4U echoes Shannon’s comments about starting early when it comes to any form of weight loss.

This is important because rapid weight loss can have ill effects and often it isn’t very sustainable.

‘Starting early is essential,’ Ayesha says. ‘A healthy sustainable weight loss is typically around one to two pounds per week. The body can adapt over time, and many experience plateaus where weight loss slows.

‘Brides who begin the process sooner give themselves time to work through these stages and avoid last-minute stress.’

‘Every time I think I’ve got it under control, it throws me another challenge,’ says Jen Pickering, 39, of her unusual health diagnosis.

In late 2023, Jen, from Liverpool, felt a sudden pain near her shoulder blade, and assumed she’d pulled a muscle while stretching in the gym.

But countless tests revealed a shocking diagnosis: her right lung had collapsed.

It marked the beginning of a long and painful journey, until Jen was finally diagnosed with thoracic endometriosis.

While endometriosis is more well known as a reproductive condition, thoracic endometriosis is a complex form of the disease, when tissue, similar to that found in the lining of the uterus, grows in and around the chest cavity, most commonly on the diaphragm, and also in the lung.

A spokesperson from the Endometriosis Trust told Metro: ‘Thoracic endometriosis is a stark reminder that endometriosis is a whole-body disease that can affect multiple organs. For too long, many have suffered because their symptoms didn’t fit the textbook version of the illness.’

After experiencing the severe chest pain in 2023, Jess went straight to her GP. ‘I had such a disturbing “barking” type cough that they said an X-ray may be useful,’ she Jen.

‘I had the X-ray that same week, and they could see pretty quickly that I had a collapsed lung.’

At the time, medics thought this had happened ‘spontaneously.’ But after surgery, Jen’s lung kept collapsing.

‘By lung collapse five, I knew it was more than just “spontaneous”.

‘So, I did my own research, as did my consultant, and together we decided that a specialist at a hospital in Oxford would be useful in providing insight into my case.

‘Within five minutes of talking with this specialist, he advised that I almost definitely had thoracic endometriosis.’

Jen said she’d never heard of the disease, but adds: ‘When I was diagnosed, I wasn’t surprised.’

She continues: ‘It was bittersweet; a relief having an explanation yet being stuck with a disease I desperately didn’t want.’

Jen has since had multiple surgeries, and says her health journey has been ‘brutal’.

She’s also developed harlequin syndrome, a rare nerve condition that causes one side of the face to flush and sweat while the other remains pale and cold.

‘When I exercise, my right arm, the side I had surgery on, goes icy cold and covered in goosebumps, even when I’m sweating everywhere else. Sometimes it tingles so badly I can’t use it for hours. It’s so strange, but it’s just another side effect of what endometriosis and surgery have done to my body.’

Jen’s diagnosis means her lung collapses almost perfectly in sync with her menstrual cycle, a condition known as catamenial pneumothorax. In total, this happened a staggering 16 times.

She says: ‘After five or so lung collapses, my doctors and I were pretty sure it was going to continue monthly.’

‘It’s often within a few days of my period starting. My doctors told me the endometriosis on my diaphragm and lungs reacts to hormonal changes, which causes the collapses,’ she explains.

However, a recent operation has ‘put an end to the lung collapses, for now,’ she says.

‘The most recent thoracic surgery included taking down the lung from scratch, reinflating it, and sticking it in place with medical talc to hold it upright.’

Despite her ongoing health struggles, Jen has become an advocate for endometriosis awareness. Recently, she was invited to present to a global medical company about thoracic endometriosis, a rare opportunity for a patient.

‘They don’t normally have patients speak on their education days, so it was such an honour,’ she says.

‘I wanted to make sure they understood that thoracic endometriosis doesn’t look the same for everyone. Not every patient needs lung surgery or has collapses, the symptoms can vary massively.

‘It’s often described as rare, but really, it’s just rarely recognised. It’s not that it doesn’t happen, it’s that doctors aren’t trained to look for it.’

Jen also posts on her TikTok page, @‌mycollapsedlung in the hopes of sharing her story and connecting with other people who have experienced her condition.

In particular, she’s encourage women to track their symptoms, especially pain that starts within 72 hours before menstruation and continues through it, or pain that radiates from the chest to the neck or down the arm.

‘Endometriosis is relentless,’ she says. ‘But I’m not giving up. My lung might collapse every month, but my spirit hasn’t.’
