A Napier University student nurse who was given the devastating news that a lump on her lymph nodes was stage four cancer has spoken of her joy at being told he is now in remission.
Alix Maitland, 20, was in her second year at the Edinburgh university and had been working hard on 12-hour shifts on the wards when she noticed something was amiss with her neck.
But she was brushed off by her GP who told her that the pain she was feeling was probably just a muscle strain.
