Sunderland mum given two years to live after being diagnosed with incurable cancer - but says she will keep fighting

A mum from Sunderland has been told she has just two years to live after she was diagnosed with incurable cancer - but said she will keep fighting.

After feeling ill for a couple of weeks, Tracy Lambert, 50, from Humbledon Hill was diagnosed with cancer in September 2021, with doctors finding a 7cm tumour in her bowel. Sadly after tests, doctors told Tracy that her cancer had spread and she started her first dose of chemotherapy which made her "really poorly".

The mum also underwent radiotherapy but Tracy was sadly told her cancer is incurable and she was given between 18 and 24 months left to live. Despite the heartbreaking news, Tracy said she is staying positive and said she has a "lot of fight in her".
