Susie Cleverly was diagnosed with breast cancer while her husband was a minister in the Foreign Office and was receiving treatment as he was made foreign secretary in September.
'I just couldn't get the words out'"I had to ring my private secretary in the Foreign Office saying 'can you cancel meetings because I need to go home', and he said 'is everything okay minister?'"I tried to say Susie might have cancer, I just couldn't get the words out, I couldn't speak - I like to talk, but I just couldn't speak.
"For the next couple of hours everything was done on WhatsApp, and it really hit me, I never felt anything like that before."Susie Cleverly found dimpled skin on her right breast nearly a year ago to the day, which turned out to be breast cancerMrs Cleverly then had about eight mammograms in one day, but they could not see anything until a scan found three lumps in her breast and a node in her arm."I wasn't scared when they told me that," she said.
She has now had a mastectomy but is still having immunotherapy to reduce the risk of recurrence and is on a waiting list for reconstructive surgery.But Mr Cleverly admitted there were a"couple of times" he thought he might lose his wife.
