Speaking at the time of finding out she had the gene, and making the tough decision to have the mastectomy, Michelle said: “It’s very strange to be 33 and making this choice, but a lot of women who go through this are in their 20s.

“It’s like making a deal with the devil.”

Michelle and her husband Hugh Hanley are discussing the hysterectomy together, and she added: “It’s a very personal choice, and a tough one at that.”
