A 35-year-old PhD student discovered a lump while applying sun cream, only to be told that she had cancer the day after coming home from her honeymoon. The student's brother faced the disease as a teenager, and doctors are baffled as to why two siblings in their thirties have both been diagnosed with cancer so young.
The pair have been told it is “a complete mystery” and genetic tests are providing no further answers. Greg Nash, now 32, needed intensive chemotherapy for Ewing Sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that affects bones or the tissue around bones, after being diagnosed at just 14.
Then Charlotte Nash-Pye, 35, found a lump in her right breast on June 23 of this year while applying sun cream at her cousin's wedding in Cyprus. The worrying discovery came just a few weeks before she was due to get married herself.
