As a life-changing cancer blood test trial funded by the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation expands around the UK, a retired NHS nurse has spoken of how the revolutionary test kept her alive despite a shocking diagnosis.
Marilyn Bint, 73, from Ponteland, was diagnosed with cancer in September 2020 when she went to A&E feeling unwell - though at the time she thought it was just something minor.
"We thought it was maybe just an ear infection - we went to A&E only to be told I had brain tumours," she said.
