A former police detective was "relieved" to be diagnosed with cancer because it offered her an escape from a career that had left her mental health in tatters.
Hannah Bailey, 44, from Warwickshire, first joined the police force at 21 in 1998 and worked for six years as a uniformed response officer.
In 2004, she was promoted to local detective and took on a more investigative role in complex and serious crimes – including human trafficking and criminal gangs.
