Councillors vote for site visit
A Scunthorpe mum who survived rectal and bowel cancer 20 years ago is now on a mission to urge people in the town to Stand Up To Cancer this autumn.
Deborah is sharing her story to help rally people against it by raising money to accelerate life-saving research. Deborah needed surgery to remove a large section of her bowel, forming a colostomy, which she had in March 2002. Deborah said: “During my pregnancy, I’d been seeing my GP to complain about a pain in my rear end. A lump the size of a plum was clearly visible, but the doctor insisted it was haemorrhoids. The medication didn’t help and the lump grew to the size of a peach.
“It’s thanks to research I’m still here and can look forward to a future full of special moments with my loved ones. One of those was when my second eldest, Natalie, had Franki, my first grandchild. There are around 28,200 people diagnosed with cancer every year in the East Midlands. Since beating the disease, Deborah has been an active fundraiser and volunteer for cancer charities.
