Sunday Brunch presenter Morgan McGlynn Carr, 38, diagnosed with breast cancer

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, looking out of the window, she explained she found a lump in her right breast on her daughter's first birthday.

Bravely opening up about her diagnosis, Megan captioned the photo: "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 triple-negative breast cancer 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.

"But we've done our best to keep life as normal as possible for our daughter."

According to Macmillan, Triple negative breast cancer is a less common type of breast cancer. About one in five breast cancers are triple negative (15 to 20%).

Triple negative cancers are those whose cells don’t have receptors for the hormones oestrogen and progesterone and a protein called Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2).

Megan, who married husband Ben Carr in 2022, explained she was given a week before her chemotherapy started to "get her ducks in a row", which included having IVF and egg retrieval.

She explained: "Treatment is different for every person. No two paths are the same. But here's what happened to me.

"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.

"Then came six months of weekly chemotherapy. The hardest thing I've ever done.

"Some weeks I sat for 13 hours at a time, thanks to my friends who kept me company. And for those who've been through the cold cap, you'll know it's no joke.

"I had to catch my breath and get through the hardest parts before sharing this. So why now?"

Morgan added: "Because if even one person sees this and it prompts them to check a lump or get a second opinion, it could save a life. Please trust your gut."

Thankfully, Morgan ended her post saying she had recently received some "very, very good news", concluding: "Two weeks ago, I had surgery - and a few days later we got some very, very good news.

"I want to say thank you - to my amazing husband, family, friends and the people who have shown up in a million small and mighty ways."
