Join us as we talk to Erini Dinou about her cancer diagnosis, recurrence and dealing with 2 cancers at the same time.
At 34 Erini was diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer, then 8 years later the same breast cancer returned along side thyroid cancer at the start of Covid lockdown in Sydney.
Erini chose to have a bi-lateral flat closure mastectomy at the same time as thyroid removal.
Followed by chemotherapy for BC and radio active iodine treatment for thyroid.
Erini moved back to NZ once the boarders were opened, and slowly restarted her life again, training in brow tattooing and opening up her own beauty salon in Wellington.
Her health is great now but the on going effects from treatments still play a hard part in her daily life - finding a juggle of feeling great and not feeling so great which is probably the hardest part of her journey.
Erini is an absolute injection of positive energy that everyone needs in their life.
