Kay’s story
When Kay Bailey found a lump in her neck,
she thought it was glandular fever as she’d been
feeling unwell for a while. ‘Cancer didn’t enter
my head for a second,’ says the mum of four
from Kent. ‘I was stunned to be told I had
Hodgkin lymphoma.’
A year on, after three months of chemotherapy
followed by a three-week course of radiotherapy,
Kay is doing well. ‘I’m back to my running, I’m
working again, and doing things with my children
and granddaughter,’ she says. ‘I’m living proof that
there is life after cancer. I’m so thankful for the
work of Cancer Research UK.’
We need to
keep raising
money to support
the amazing
scientists, doctors
and nurses who
are dedicated to
beating cancer.
