Single mum with cancer charged £14k by 'cowboy builders' and left with huge hole in wall

Georgina Schwan, 41, said her life changed forever when she received a breast cancer diagnosis during the early days of the Coronavirus pandemic. The shock news also came at the same time as she navigated a split with her husband of six years.
