Former The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Nermina Pieters-Mekic has announced in a heartfelt post on Instagram she has been diagnosed with an early stage aggressive breast cancer after finding a lump in her left breast.

The star, who shares two-year-old daughter Alaya-Rose with her West Bromwich Albion player husband Erik Pieters, also explained her fears in the wake of her diagnosis that she wouldn't see her daughter "grow up." Speaking on her social media, alongside some pictures of her and husband Erik, including one of her wearing a cold cap which is sometimes used during treatment to prevent hair loss, Nermina said: "And just like that my life changed forever. "A few months ago I felt a lump in my left breast and I decided to see a GP who didn’t seem overly concerned. "After some convincing from my Mom- I decided to investigate it further as the lump was getting sore and growing.

I’m so grateful that I did because on the 10th of July I got diagnosed with an early stage aggressive breastcancer." The star, who joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2017 as a guest housewife and has been on screen on-and-off since her debut, added: "I will never be able to describe how I felt that day and the days after that.

My heart was broken, I was scared and I had so many questions.. I’m healthy and fit so how is this possible for someone of my age?! "But one question scared me the most and it makes me upset even writing it down - “will I see my little princess grow up”? "My days were filled with hospital appointments every day and there were so many decisions to be made.
