Thyroid cancer: Nurse uses own diagnosis to care for others

"In the 1980s we were all learning that we shouldn't be smoking… we shouldn't be doing this, that and the other, and we've learned over the years what can cause cancer.

And just like the patients she has helped over the last four decades, she also knows what it is like to live with cancer.Beryl is looking forward to spending more time on her farm in Conwy "I was 30 in the December and was diagnosed in the October, so that was my birthday present. I didn't want to be 30 - I wanted to be 20-something forever, but after that I said I would never whinge about getting older.""It helped me understand what the patients needed.

As research developed, the chances of cancer survival grew. It is one of the major milestones Beryl witnessed in her career. "It was the same for cancer really, but now we have chemotherapy and treatment regimens for every cancer, from top to toe." When she finally hangs up her fob watch, the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's head of nursing for cancer services knows she will be leaving a lasting legacy. Her proudest moment was recently securing £1m funding for 25 specialist assistant practitioner nurses to support cancer patients.
