Heather's festive song on breast cancer fight

- BY LUCY LAING

HUMOUR has been the best medicine for Heather Glover and her family during her nine-year battle against breast cancer.

Still bold and beautiful at 54, as she faces triple negative breast cancer for a third time, the mum-of-three vows this Christmas will be no different.

She says: "I don't know whether it will be my last Christmas or what the future holds. I'm always incredibly positive, but I have to be realistic too."

Heather, who recently retired as a nurse in Macclesfield, Cheshire recruited around 20 fellow medics, and her daughter Megan, to help her record a tongue-in-cheek version of The 12 Days of Christmas to raise money for cancer charity Maggie's.

POSITIVITY

Looking fabulous in red satin pyjamas, she laughs alongside her pals as they sing about 12 days of treatment - substituting words like "six geese a-laying" for "six nurses a-nursing", and "four calling birds" for "four junior doctors".
