Christmas Miracle: Cancer Gone!
22 Dec, 2025
Summary
- A woman received clear biopsy results on Christmas, confirming cancer was gone.
- She initially delayed seeking medical attention for a minor leg issue.
- BBC Radio Derby's Sun Safe campaign inspired her to get checked.
A 75-year-old woman from Spondon, Derby, received a life-changing Christmas gift as her biopsy confirmed her skin cancer was gone. Elizabeth Roe had previously overlooked a minor irritation on her left shin, delaying medical consultation.
Her decision to finally seek help was prompted by coverage of BBC Radio Derby's Sun Safe events. These events, held in memory of presenter Colin Bloomfield who died from melanoma in 2015, encouraged listeners to be vigilant about skin health.
Doctors diagnosed Roe with skin cancer, but thanks to early detection and timely treatment, she has since received a full recovery and a clear bill of health.
