A cancer patient from Glasgow has praised NHS staff after undergoing robotic surgery she says saved her life.
Deborah Speirs, 46, from the city's Tollcross area, was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in March 2021 and, thanks to the innovative surgery and a dose of chemotherapy, she has now been given the all-clear.
Following a consultation with Professor Campbell Roxburgh, a surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the mum-of-one decided to opt for "amazing" procedure over conventional surgery.
