Student teacher, 21, dies of rare cancer months after finding lump on her shoulder

Tributes have been paid to a student teacher who died of cancer months after finding a lump on her shoulder. Jenna Patel, 21, became concerned after noticing the lump while carrying out work experience at a primary school.

However, when she first visited a doctor, she was told it was 'nothing to worry about'. After the lump started to grow, Jenna, from Bolton, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma - a rare cancer which can cause tumours in the bones or surrounding soft-tissues.

Following a courageous battle, she died on May 13. She was due to graduate this month.
