Influencer Jennifer Wrynne has been diagnosed with cancer

Irish influencer and milliner Jennifer Wrynne has sadly been diagnosed with cancer.

The mum-of-four confirmed the harrowing news on Instagram.

She wrote: "Breast cancer. A journey I never imagined I’d be going on… but I’m soaking up every cuddle before it begins.

"The past few days have been a complete blur. Everything has happened so quickly — and I’m heartbroken to share that I’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer."

Jennifer said she's nervous, scared, overwhelmed, "but more than anything, I’m grateful."

The influencer said she's grateful that she found the lump, that it was caught early, and that the nurse in her local GP acted so early.

She confirmed that her cancer is treatable and she is "grateful for the incredible care I’ve received already."

The mum added, "And most of all — grateful it’s me and not one of my children, family, or friends."

Jennifer confirmed she will undergo surgery this week.

"My first step is surgery this week, followed by treatment in the weeks ahead. It won’t be easy, but I’m feeling strong and positive."

"I’ll keep you updated as I go, but in the meantime, please do me one small favour: check your breasts," she reminded her followers.

"I’m embarrassed to admit that, at 36 years old, I had never checked mine. I only found the lump by complete accident in the shower. I was so lucky. Early detection really does save lives."
