A Houghton-le-Spring mum is hoping to complete a "bucket list" of day trips and adventures with her 10-year-old daughter after receiving a shocking cancer diagnosis.
Rebecca Robson, 33, discovered changes to her breast in May - and a trip to the GP saw her given the heartbreaking news that she has breast cancer. Her illness is the aggressive HER2 form of breast cancer and doctors believe she now also has cancer nodules in her lungs.
She's been told it is incurable - though treatments can keep the disease at bay. Rebecca - a dental nurse who works in Hetton - told ChronicleLive : "At the moment I have just finished a run of chemotherapy, that was three weeks ago and now I'm waiting for another CT scan. This collection is a really moving thing - it's obviously for both of us but for me it's mostly for Poppy. Whatever we get will be for her.
