Graham, 63, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2009. There had been signs for a while, like struggling with buttons..., but the diagnosis was still a devastating blow.

17.01.2022 The death of her favorite university lecturer from a melanoma triggered Bronwyn Rantall’s heightened awareness of skin cancer and it might just have saved her life.

Mrs Rantall spoke out this week to mark National Skin Cancer Action Week (November 15-21) an...d urged everyone to understand how any change in a spot on their skin could be a sign of something potentially life-threatening.

01.01.2022 The discovery of an ultimately harmless lump in her right breast in 2013 might have saved Julie Harkin’s life. While the lump she had felt turned out to be a benign cyst, it was the catalyst for scans that unfortunately found a cancerous grade three (fast growing) lump Julie hadn’t detected. Julie has been a nurse at TDHS for 36 years, with the exception of 11 months in 2013/14 when she beat breast cancer.... October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Julie said she was happy to share her story and help demonstrate how important regular mammograms are for women.
