My guilt at beating cancer when it killed my husband and daughter

Lindsay Nicholson

The thing about a cancer diagnosis is that it never finishes with you. You are never free from worry and if you're not fretting about a mole, it's a cough that seems to take a long time to go.

My first husband (top right) died from leukaemia, a blood cancer. Then when my eldest daughter Ellie was nine she was diagnosed with leukaemia as well. A million-to-one chance, doctors said. But not zero. Because it never is zero.
