Debbie and her family are fundraising veterans for many charities, including The Myton Hospices.    Debbie’s dad, known as GeeGee to his granddaughters, was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in spring 2020. This understandably shattered the family.   Debbie said: He was always the strong one, a serving police officer for 40 years. He was also physically fit and worked hard on his allotment everyday. Coming to terms with his diagnosis was difficult, but we pulled together and he tackled it head on. That summer, Kimmy’s school ran a challenge to keep the children fit ..read more

In the summer of 2018, when I saw the look on my GP’s face I knew immediately that I had cancer for the third time.   In 2008 it was renal cancer and the decision was made to operate and remove the tumour, and what remained of my left kidney.   I walked into University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire and a week later walked out, albeit 6kg lighter; the weight of the offending beast!   Soon after, I was invited to take part in a 10-year clinical trial for a new drug. The trial had the benefit of regular x-rays and scans.   One scan took place in the autumn of 2017 and ..read more
