A woman who felt a 'niggling pain' in her leg was left devastated after being told she had 'incurable' cancer. Jo Hodkinson noticed the ache while out on her walks with her pet dog Elvis, which prompted her to visit the doctors.
The 48-year-old accountant was given the devastating diagnosis that the breast cancer that she had been treated for 10 years ago had returned to her hip, thigh and pelvic bones.
