Bradshaw reveals she has breast cancer

Minister of Education Santia Bradshaw has announced a short leave of absence as a result of a cancerous lump in her breast.

The revelation from the Member of Parliament for St Michael South East came tonight during a constituency meeting at the Parkinson Resource Centre.

She said the cancer was diagnosed in the early stages and it is treatable.

Dame Billie Miller, a breast cancer survivor of over 25 years, threw her support behind Bradshaw, describing her as a powerhouse.

Dame Billie asked for the prayers of the public but space as well. (Nationnews)
