I've run the Race for Life after beating cancer at 23

Young woman kept on fighting after setback during treatment for disease

A BRAVE young woman who hid cancer fears behind smiles at her 21st birthday has battled back to beat the disease.

Chloe Reid, 23, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma - an uncommon cancer that develops in the lymphatic system - on March 8, 2023.

She looked picture-perfect in the weeks beforehand as she posed in photos to mark her landmark 21st birthday in December 2022.

But behind the smiles, Chloe was masking worries about a lump in her neck and constant tiredness. The health care assistant, from Aberdeen, went on to have several biopsies and was told she had cancer that had spread to some lymph nodes under her arm.
