Just weeks after completing chemotherapy, a Sunderland breast cancer survivor is helping to develop a support programme for women recovering from the devastating disease.
Kelly Ross, 39, is working with Newcastle University's Dr Sam Orange on the project. Dr Orange's team has been awarded £250,000 by the charity Breast Cancer Now to support the research.
The idea is to improve access to help with nutrition and physical activity for those adapting to life after breast cancer. According to the charity, one in three people will experience persistent tiredness after treatment, and almost half will experience depression and anxiety.
