On Instagram Sunday, the British Peloton instructor, 35, gave an update on her mental state since revealing her health news in January.
“Two days before my best friend’s funeral, I found a lump in my breast,” the British spin instructor began, as she detailed her story alongside a collection of hospital room photos. “That really is a sentence I NEVER imagined writing.”
“I trusted my gut and got a second opinion,” she wrote. “That saved my life. Check, and check again.”
Before she underwent chemotherapy, she and Alldis,to whom she has been engaged for two years, did a round of IVF.
“We weren’t mentally prepared, but we got it done and we’re so grateful,” she posted.
She was able to continue working throughout her breast cancer treatment.
“As a Peloton instructor, a huge part of my role is about the members, and despite my diagnosis, that has always mattered to me hugely. My classes have given me a focus, and some sparkle in an otherwise incredibly tough time, so thank you to the members who had no idea the amount of joy they were bringing to me every day.”

She detailed her schedule now that she has completed 12 weeks of chemotherapy.
“I would teach my Wednesday morning LIVE classes, and then meet my Mum and go to the treatment suite for my weekly dose … Chemo is no joke. Cold caps are no joke,” she wrote.
As for what her near future is looking like, “treatment will continue for a “long time for me, hospital visits are the norm.”
Fortunately, she says her prognosis looks good.
“I’m in fantastic hands, and I’ve got this,” she wrote. “Nobody wants to be sat in a room and told they have cancer, and yet I’ve always felt one of the lucky ones. I am one of the lucky ones. Lucky to be diagnosed early, lucky to be moving fast through treatment, lucky to know I WILL BE OK.”
