A terminally ill mum told how she is now saving for winter fuel bills as well as her own funeral - and says the cold exacerbates pain from bone cancer.
Mum-of-one Melanie Finlay, 48, does not know if she will live to see Christmas after being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer in March 2021.She was given the all-clear from breast cancer in 2019 but pain in her bones was dismissed as hormonal in 2020.
