Diane Whyte: Breast Cancer Survivor

My name is Diane Whyte and I work for EMCOR. I am a mother, grandmother, wife, and a breast cancer survivor. Luckily, my cancer was caught in the very early stages after I found a lump in the shower. I went to my doctor genuinely thinking it was cyst as I have no history of breast cancer in my family and have always been healthy. When my doctor told me it was cancer I could not believe it. My initial reaction was one of shock; I didn’t think anything beyond that but just knew I needed to pick myself up and carry on; working at EMCOR and keeping busy made it easier to cope.
