A mother-of-three who noticed her finger had become infected as it was “all swollen and green” and was put in an induced coma after a “devastating” leukaemia diagnosis which left her battling for life has said “it was never an option to give up”.
Now celebrating being almost six years cancer-free, Peppie Scobbie, 53, who lives in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, said she did not “feel right” while holidaying in Portugal in July 2017 – after which she returned home and noticed her finger had gone green and was “swollen” and “throbbing”.
