Running, cycling, and attending concerts seemed out of reach after facing surgery that left her with a permanent colostomy bag. However, three years on, and even after a second primary cancer diagnosis, Lynne continues to live life to the fullest and is passionate about urging others to get tested early. Lynne’s story came to light at a Bowel Cancer Awareness event held at the Hive Community Hub in Willenhall on April 29.
