Brave Dudley mum recalls difficult cancer journey

Dudley mum, Helen Hickman, 46, spotted a blood blister on her arm in March 2021 and after a hospital visit was diagnosed with Melanoma - a type or skin cancer. After bouts of surgery she was told the disease had been beaten but, less than a year later, was back in the doctor's office receiving the world-collapsing news that the cancer had spread to her abdomen and lungs and was at stage four - giving her only 'a couple of years' left to live.
