Chesterfield teen organises Macmillan fundraiser after his mum was diagnosed with brain tumour and lung cancer

Jane Devine, 50 is recovering from an operation to remove a tumour from her brain and awaiting chemotherapy after she was diagnosed in July.

Jane of Rydall Crescent Newbold told how she went to her GP at the end of July with vertigo symptoms.

"I was getting sick and dizzy.

"I had a mammogram on my 50th birthday check up and they sent me to hospital where they told me I had breast cancer and a brain tumour.

"Six days later they operated and took the tumour out."

Jane is urging women to take advantage of the routine screenings.

"They should get themselves checked," she said.
