Our Stories
Cancer patients and their families are at the heart of what we do. Read a selection of inspirational stories from the people we’ve helped and hear from those who volunteer and support our work.
Derek’s Story
Derek, 67, from Bings Heath was diagnosed with grade five prostate cancer in March 2024 after visiting his GP to discuss troubles with his waterworks. Derek was sure something wasn’t ‘quite right’, so he was persistent and continued to visit his GP until a biopsy was done.
Colin Pritchard
Colin, 77 was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August 2022 and his treatment will continue until September 2025. Colin lived with symptoms for over 7 years before he finally got a diagnostic blood test.
Lyn’s Story
Lyn is a well-known Shropshire artist. She was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer that was picked up during her mammogram. She shares her story to encourage others to get tested.
Clare Roberts
Clare has been volunteering as a graphic designer for Lingen Davies, and she chose to support the charity after her dad was treated at the centre.

I Can't stop taking natural remedies because it calms me down from depression, I'm speaking from experience when I say that pills don't always work for everyone. I've had this terrible mental health issue for a long time, but it wasn't until I found herbalist Dr James remedies on Facebook that he used natural remedies to treat my anxiety and depressive disorder. He also treats patients with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and bipolar. Attempt to find him 👇👇👇👇 www.facebook.com/Dr-James-herbal-home-261965740342582/
