Raad Islam worked through the Covid pandemic on the frontline as an NHS nurse. He had been dealing with on-and-off back pain for a few years, but when it got worse, he sought help.
It was then that he was given the devastating news that, as 32-year-old non-smoker, he had terminal lung cancer. It left him, he said, "broken".
Raad is now using his remaining time to raise awareness of the disease. He wants people to take notice of the symptoms, reports the M.E.N.
