A Nottinghamshire mum-of-two says she wouldn't wish what her family have gone through on anybody as her husband recovers from two major cancer scares. Jan Walmsley, 52, has been with her husband Rob Walmsley, 61, for 20 years, and says the illnesses he has had to cope with have been 'horrendous'.
A throat cancer diagnosis in 2006 meant that Rob could not be by Jan's side as she gave birth to the first of their two children, who are now aged 16 and 14. But Rob's initial illness, alongside a more recent battle with mouth cancer, has also affected the family financially and Jan is now seeking help to provide "security" for her children.
Jan Walmsley said: "In 2006 I was pregnant when Rob started feeling unwell and, after going back and forth to the doctors, they eventually said that we had reasons to be concerned and listed four types of cancer. Rob said 'so I have got cancer', they said 'yes' and that's where this all started.
