A Dumbarton dad whose life was turned upside down by a shock cancer diagnosis a year ago will mark his dramatic recovery by taking the lead role in a panto.
When the curtain rises on John Paul Lusk’s first performance in Elf it will be 12 months to the day of the scan which confirmed a tumour in his colon was cancerous.
After an incredible recovery, John Paul, 43, is preparing to tread the boards as the lead role in a production by the Mummers’ Theatre Group - whom he credits with providing an escape for him during gruelling cancer treatment.
