The Space Between: Breast Cancer & Finding Me

"For all the cancer rebels who have gone before me or are yet to come. Let us inspire each other to be courageous, to face the challenge head-on and commit to living this life."

Nobody knows how they'll react to the words, "I'm afraid you have breast cancer." And Jacqui Taylor – a healthy, fit, busy mother, wife and thriving physiotherapist business owner - was no exception when she heard those words in July 2020. But two years on, she has reached her next destination and found herself; thanks to our wonderful NHS, her relentless determination and the love of family and friends.

The Space Between: breast cancer & finding me is Jacqui's heartfelt, emotional and inspirational account of her Grade 2 Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer diagnosis, treatments, epiphanies, battle scars and ultimately, her journey of self-discovery.

Without reservation, Jacqui bravely shares the light and darkness of the intimate rollercoaster that became her life. She reveals how she navigated medical appointments and treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic and how she coped with that added extra layer of isolation when the world suddenly stopped. As well as insights into the emotional and physical obstacles cancer threw her way, Jacqui also provides a glimpse into the mental challenges she faced and how her diagnosis impacted every thread of her life.

Her mission now is to raise awareness of Lobular Breast Cancer, inspire others to be courageous, face the challenge head-on and commit to living their lives.

And while everyone's breast cancer journey is personal and unique to them, if you're currently battling cancer or supporting a loved one through this horrendous disease, let The Space Between be a source of inspiration.
