Mum who beat cancer nine times vows to 'keep fighting' after latest diagnosis

A mum who has battled nine different cancers over the last 30 years is determined to 'keep fighting' after being diagnosed with the devastating disease for a tenth time.

Heather Devlin was given the heartbreaking news that she has Myeloma back in 2017. The incurable blood cancer is extremely rare and made up just two per cent of cancer diagnoses in the UK between 2016-2018.

This is 64-year-old's second blood cancer diagnosis after she was treated for leukaemia almost 30 years ago. Tragically, the chemotherapy she underwent led to eight other cancerous tumours developing, including ones in her ovaries which had to be removed with a full hysterectomy.
