After overcoming cancer, Alisha-Jane is giving back to the campaign that saved her

Stepping out of the doctor’s office in late June, the first thing Alisha-Jane Laney did was call her mum to let her know her fight was over – she was finally cancer-free after a heartbreaking five-year battle.

“When my results came back clear, my GP and I burst into tears,” Alisha-Jane tells Woman’s Day. “I called Mum straight away and we celebrated it together. After years of tests and anxiety and surgeries and mental exhaustion, I just don’t have to worry any more.”

Alisha-Jane was just 23 when a routine pap smear revealed she was positive for CIN 2 cervical cancer cells.

Suffering from severe endometriosis from the age of 14, Alisha-Jane says she attributed her symptoms to her existing illness, and never once thought it could be something more sinister.
