Heather Glover, a resilient 54-year-old, is confronting triple negative breast cancer for the third time with an unwavering spirit, using humor as her greatest ally. She has creatively reimagined "The 12 Days of Christmas" into "12 Days of Treatment," a lighthearted parody that reflects the realities of cancer care.
This festive initiative, involving around 20 fellow medical professionals and her daughter Megan, aims to raise vital funds for the cancer support charity Maggie's. The song playfully substitutes traditional lyrics with themes of treatment, such as 'six nurses a-nursing' and 'four junior doctors,' offering a comforting and relatable perspective.
Facing an incurable diagnosis, Heather's primary goal is to lift the spirits of those undergoing treatment, emphasizing that laughter and positivity remain possible even amidst challenging circumstances. Her efforts extend beyond the song, having previously contributed to a podcast on chemotherapy's impact on sex life and participated in a lingerie shoot.
