A North East student has spoke of her perseverance and will to not be defeated by cancer, after being diagnosed with the disease earlier this year.
20-year-old Brogan Rigby noticed a change in one of her moles in January, prompting her to get it looked over by a GP, and to her devastation, less than a month later, she was told she has skin cancer.
Brogan, who is in her second year studying a Performing Arts degree at the University of Sunderland, said it felt like 'the world started to move in slow motion' after hearing the news.
