A woman who lost both parents to cancer while dealing with her own diagnosis has decided to stop wearing a watch - so she can embrace life.
Both Eric Duffus, 76, and Elizabeth Duffus, 72, died from cancer while daughter Gill Duffus-Simpson, 44, was dealing with her own illness. All three were diagnosed within three months of each other at the end of 2010 and the start of 2011.
But Gill Duffus-Simpson, a mature student, from Moray, says she doesn't want cancer to define her. And she's taken the unusual step of taking off her watch permanently - to try and appreciate time more.
