GOOD luck to BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire who has announced she has breast cancer.
Victoria, from Bury and with relatives still in the Bolton area, broke the news on Twitter and said she would still be doing her regular daily current affairs programme as much as possible in the months ahead.
If anyone can beat this horrible disease, Victoria can. She is a brave and fearless presenter whose determined approach to interviewing has already won her awards.
Her approach so far not only bodes well in her medical fight but is a great example to other women with similar diagnoses.
