The Norwegian wing star, Camilla Herrem shares the news that she suffers from breast cancer. ”Three and a half weeks ago I felt a lump in my chest”, she writes in social media.
Herrem´s further examinations led to a meeting with the doctor last Friday where she was told about the diagnosis.
The treatment gets going with chemotherapy, while Herrem focuses on staying positive.
– It feels like a really long time has passed. But this week has just lasted forever, it feels like. My thoughts go… My thoughts, anyway. They automatically go to the worst that could possibly be. And then you have to try to pull yourself back a little and think a little more positively, she says in an Instagram video.
Herrem left the Norwegian national team after Euro 2024 but is still performing for the club team Sola HK.
Since sharing the news, the 38-year-old has received supports from a lot of handball players.
– It’s terrible. I’m worried and feel for her. Both for her and her family, says Maren Aardahl to VG.
“I don’t even know what to write. Sending lots of love and strength to you! It’s hell you’re going through but you’ll damn well manage it”, writes Isabelle Gulldén in a comment to the Instagram post.
