This will provide an invaluable support for the local community."

One in two of us will be affected by the condition in our lifetime. Dr Hilda Hayo, Chief Admiral Nurse and CEO of Dementia UK, says: 'At Dementia UK, we believe every family affected by dementia should have the support of a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse – but right now, we can't reach everyone who needs us.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 45, reveals breast cancer diagnosis
's Monyetta Shaw-Carter revealed she is battling breast cancer. The reality TV star, 45, opened up about being diagnosed with with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma in November 2024. 'I had a biopsy about 10 years ago and it came back benign,' she told People. 'Then last year in September I was doing a self-check because I felt this random sensation that I can't really describe in my left boob. 'It was like nothing I've ever felt before. It was literally like my body was alerting me that something was wrong.' She found the lump in her breast just one month after her annual mammogram. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Monyetta was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer in November 2024 After a lumpectomy in January and 16 rounds of radiation, she rang the bell on May 2 to mark the end of her treatment. 'Because I caught the cancer early, I will be here for my kids,' she said. 'There's nothing more important than getting checked often and early to protect your future. 'Our health is irreplaceable. I can't thank my exceptional doctors and nurses enough. They are our heroes!' Monyetta completed her treatment last month and is thrilled that part of her life is over. 'It was obviously one of the hardest and scariest moments of my life,' she said about the moment she got the call from her doctors saying she had cancer. 'Everything around me stopped. My heart dropped. I was afraid. I was angry. I was just numb,' she added. At first, Monyetta considered having a double mastectomy but since her results didn't mandate that she only had a lumpectomy. 'It's so important for me to share this story because I hope to inspire others not to dismiss their gut feeling,' Shaw-Carter told the outlet. 'Our body speaks to us and when it does we have to listen. It can be a matter of life or death.' Moynetta gained strength from her husband Heath Carter but she also needed to tell her her ex-fiancé, singer Ne-Yo, whom she shares daughter Madilyn 'Maddie,' 14, and son, Mason, 13. 'We actually told him when we were all there, my husband, and Ne-Yo, Maddie and Mason, and some of Maddie's friends, were at a bowling alley, celebrating Maddie's birthday,' she said. 'The kids were talking and playing and bowling. And we took him to the side and told Ne-Yo the news, and the shock that was on his face said it all,' she said. 'He was just super supportive. 'Ne-Yo was just showing up for me in a major way and just always asking and making sure everything was okay. He was like, "Oh, you're gonna beat this."' She also got a lot of support from her Real Housewives of Atlanta castmates – especially Kandi Burruss. 'When I told Kandi she immediately was like, "Oh, my gosh, what can I do?" She's been so super supportive. 'She came by, sent, like, the biggest stuff, like her, and my other friends are in competition with who can send me the biggest flower arrangements.' Sheree Whitfield has also been a lot of support for Moynetta during her illness. 'And she just gave me all kinds of like, "Oh, my gosh, girl, like, how? I couldn't imagine! Okay, let me go and make sure I check mine." 'I've just received huge support from the girls,' she said. 'I don't think any of the other girls know, so they will be finding out and I know I will be getting phone calls very soon to that effect.'
