We’re so grateful for family time together. Helen Moore, Bristol

My son was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia two years ago, aged just 15 months.

He is in remission but still in treatment.

He has suffered lots of side effects from the chemo, especially tummy and eating issues.

He has been tube fed for most of his illness, but yesterday he ate some pasta, which is a huge deal for him. Leanne Penty, address supplied In 2006 I discovered a lump in my breast and after having a biopsy, I was told the bad news - I had breast cancer.

After 15 treatments of radiotherapy, I am proud to be a breast cancer survivor. Pamela Hazeldene Stone, Staffs

My mum, Trudy Fowler, has beaten cancer twice. First cervical and then Stage 3 breast cancer. She has had a hysterectomy and mastectomy, as well as chemo and radiotherapy.
