Meesh Jay My Cancer Journey
In 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation-therapy. This was a very daunting time in my life but with immense support from family and friends the journey was smooth! In between taking medication and having regular check ups I continued making music and taught myself how to shoot music videos.
As an advocate for breast cancer awareness I was invited to be a part of Stella McCartney and Idris Elba’s breast cancer campaign which was fantastic!
I’d met Tony Larking and Mo Pleasure when I was sent to interview Mo for Soho Radio and ended up becoming great friends with them both. I was invited to get involved with Tony’s music project and the rest is history really. The band were made up of phenomenal musicians and the songs were written with everybody and every genre in mind.
After a 10 year journey I’m now in remission with my breast cancer and have been actively involved in creativity.
