A cancer patient has told of the stark reality facing those battling the disease as the cost of living crisis soars. Edinburgh woman Claire O'Donnell was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in March 2016.
Claire, who was 38 at the time, said being poorly in the current climate has been a "struggle" and at times financially difficult. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, she admitted that living with cancer comes with financial pressures - but said the the cost of living chaos will add an extra devastating burden.
Claire, now 44, is a Support Coordinator for Edinburgh charity Make 2nds Count and urges people who have been diagnosed with cancer to seek support.
