22-year-old Joyce and her grandmother diagnosed within a week for breast cancer

Madison Joyce, a mental health worker, discovered she had the disease after finding a lump in her breast earlier this summer. It came just days after her grandmother, Maureen Stanway, 73, was diagnosed with the same strand of cancer. Both women now face a fight to beat the disease. Miss Joyce, from Bucknall, Staffordshire, is just one of a handful of breast cancer sufferers in her age group. Figures show that just 220 women under-30 are diagnosed with the disease each year. She has been forced to make the agonising decision to undergo a mastectomy and has been told that she could face three years of treatment. Her mother and sister are now also being tested to see if they are risk of developing breast cancer.
