Huntley was allegedly attacked with a metal bar in a workshop at the maximum security Frankland Prison near Durham on February 26.

Huntley was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, where he died on March 7.

A brief inquest hearing in Crook, County Durham, was held where coroner Jeremy Chipperfield was told criminal proceedings had begun and a trial was due to start on November 23.

Anthony Russell, 44, has been charged with murder and has appeared in court previously.

Mr Chipperfield asked whether Russell had entered pleas and was told by his coroner’s officer that psychiatric assessments have been carried out on behalf of the prosecution and defence.

The coroner said the inquest will remain suspended until the completion of the criminal proceedings and it will then be considered whether it was necessary to complete the inquest.

Mr Chipperfield said: “That cannot happen until we know the shape of any trial.”

He adjourned the inquest proceedings until December 16 for a further brief hearing.

Huntley was serving a life sentence for the 2002 murders of 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.

The ex-school caretaker killed the best friends after they left a family barbecue to buy sweets in Soham, Cambridgeshire, on August 4 2002.

He dumped their bodies in a ditch 10 miles away.

They were not found for 13 days despite a search involving hundreds of police officers.

At the time, Huntley lived with Maxine Carr who was a teaching assistant at Holly and Jessica’s primary school.

He denied murdering the girls but was convicted after a trial at the Old Bailey in 2003.

He was jailed for life with a recommended minimum term of 40 years.

What did the study find?

Meghan and Harry had only been able to test the route to Archie and Lilibet’s new school during the summer holidays after deciding to return to Britain, and were alarmed by the traffic on the first day of term. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex pulled their children out of the private school after just two days when their convoy became separated during the busy school run, it emerged today.

Sources close to the couple claimed their security fears were heightened whenever their vehicles were stopped in traffic, leaving them as ‘sitting ducks’.

Their private protection team had been unable to properly assess the journey from the family’s new home to the unnamed school during term time, with the commute taking up to an hour each way.

Archie and Lilibet spent just 48 hours in their new classes before their parents ‘reluctantly’ withdrew them on the advice of their security team, who warned that the commute was placing their unit under ‘strain’.

Friends of the couple have stressed that the issue was not with the school itself.  Instead, Archie and Lili, seven and five, were taken out because of the lengthy commute from their new home and heavy traffic on the way to school.

One source close to him has claimed that a worrying incident this week when the Sussexes’ vehicles were unable to stay together in convoy had alarmed the couple.

The decision to pull them out of school came on the same day it emerged that Harry’s access to state-funded VIP police protection is being reviewed now they are back in the UK full time. 

Prince Harry, who turned 42 today, was reportedly seen settling Lili into reception, and the couple were added to WhatsApp groups.

Parents at the school had also spotted Harry taking one of the children through the gates. One mother with two children at the school said Harry and Meghan’s decision to send their children there had been a coup and had excited many parents.

But she added: ‘Parents at the school are completely baffled. You don’t need to be an expert to know how congested that area is. It’s one of the worst places to drive in the UK.’

Archie and Lili were apparently in a convoy that was split up due to congestion this week

Another mother said of the slow school run: ‘This was obviously going to happen.’

But a Labour MP suggested that he believes the Sussexes have been left exposed.

Mike Tapp, who represents Dover and Deal in Kent, said: ‘Nearly three weeks after their arrival, the King’s son, Meghan, and their children remain without protection. 

‘Whatever the eventual outcome, there are serious questions about how this process has been handled. In the cold light of day, there should be a proper review to ensure decisions of this importance are made swiftly, independently and on the basis of risk.’ 

Archie and Lili will now join another school in the area after visiting for a taster session on Monday. 

Harry and Meghan’s security are said to be much happier with that choice as the commute is shorter. 

The decision to take their children out of their prep school for security reasons was first reported by HELLO! magazine last night.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: ‘The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements. 

‘The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.’ 

HELLO! then quoted a friend of the couple saying: ‘It’s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents. It was perfect for them in every way and the children really enjoyed their time there. 

‘They really wanted to make it work, but they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn’t make the school run operationally secure.’ 

Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, were enrolled in a British school – until new security fears

The dramatic development came as it emerged that Harry’s demand for taxpayer-funded police protection is being ‘reviewed’ now he is back in Britain.

The duke and duchess are said to have been informed that ‘a decision’ was made at a meeting last week to examine the threat to both of them.

The prince has been at loggerheads with the Home Office for years over its decision to remove his automatic right to security. Harry has long argued that he was born a prince and needs police protection when in the UK.

But he lost a series of legal battles against the Home Office which deemed he had forfeited the right to be able to call at will on taxpayer-funded protection after he quit as a frontline royal in 2020 and moved to a new life in California.

Only last year, after yet another defeat at the Royal Courts of Justice – against his father His Majesty’s government – the prince declared in a petulant BBC interview that he could not imagine a time when he could safely bring his family to his country of birth.

But now that he has had a sudden change of heart, bringing Meghan, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to live in the UK, his access to police protection is being reviewed, it was reported on Monday evening.

The decision is said to involve reviewing the risks to Prince Harry and also to his wife.

ITV News said the Home Office committee that decides on security provision for high-profile royals and politicians – known as Ravec – has written to Harry informing him a ‘full review’ will take place.

If true, then this decision defies complaints made by Team Sussex about the meeting held last week by Ravec, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures.

Some in Harry’s camp had accused Buckingham Palace of trying to scupper the Ravec meeting with King Charles’s bombshell letter last week which made clear Buckingham Palace’s view that the Sussexes were ‘private citizens’ not working royals. 

Harry and Meghan were taken by surprise by the letter and would prefer to be known as ‘public figures‘, it was made clear by sources close to them.

They believed the timing of the letter may have been an attempt to influence the Ravec committee on whether to reinstate Harry’s taxpayer-funded security.

At the time, the Daily Mail reported that such claims were incorrect, and the letter was sent out by the palace to offer clarity ahead of a busy programme for the Sussexes, not to interfere with his battles with the Home Office committee. In fact, those close to the King believed the move could make it easier for him to see his son privately.

Last night, Harry’s fears that the letter could have been designed to block his bid for security appeared unfounded with the news that Ravec is going to fully review his need for protection for him and his family.

ITV News’s royal correspondent Chris Ship said: ‘It was decided that Harry should get a full review of his security now that he is resident in his home country and his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have started classes at a British school.’

It was said the official review carried out by Ravec, called a Risk Management Board (RMB), would be conducted for both Harry and Meghan. It would be the first review of the potential risks and threats facing Meghan since the couple left the Monarchy in 2020.

In fact, Harry had a new ‘RMB’ completed in July, eight weeks ago, but this was conducted before those assessing his case knew about his plans to relocate his family to the UK.

Currently, said ITV News, the only protection the Sussexes have been given by British police is the phone number of a police liaison officer. The duke has been told to call the phone number should he need police help, but he believes this is essentially zero protection as it would take officers a long time to reach him, were he or his family to be in distress or under attack.

Harry argues he is the son of the British monarch, the fifth in line to the throne and a veteran of the British Army who completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan. He was criticised by some British officers for his decision to boast in his 2023 memoir Spare about how many people he had killed during his battles against the Taliban. Some suggested this had massively increased his need for protection against those who might seek revenge.

Scotland Yard does not discuss the security arrangements of royals but it is understood that protection is arranged on a case-by-case basis and is constantly under review. During some recent UK events attended by Harry, such as charity evenings, he has clearly been afforded police security.

Harry and Meghan also pay millions for private security. But in America, their bodyguards may be able to shoot people deemed a threat. In Britain, their close protection agents are not allowed to carry guns, explaining why the duke is desperate to reinstate his automatic police protection.

The Home Office said: ‘The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.’ 

Team Sussex has been contacted for comment.

Private security guards carried out their first patrol in Essex today after male migrants have left women scared to go out alone.

The Reform-led county council has hired contractors to monitor migrants on the streets of Colchester, Braintree and Chelmsford – with the first walkabouts starting this morning.

Locals in Colchester say that on days when asylum seekers are brought into the city from MDP Wethersfield – a former RAF base in the Essex countryside – the atmosphere can feel very different.

Women are reportedly being told to ‘cover up’, girls are allegedly being filmed on mobile phones and groups of young men have been accused of staring, making comments and intimidating locals.

Reform said the patrols – named Operation Vanguard – came as a ‘direct response to concerns raised amongst local residents, particularly women and girls, over gatherings of male migrants in town centres’.

Within just moments of their shift starting, officers in Chelmsford were already dealing with their first incident in the city centre.

Two operatives were called by concerned members of the public who had seen a group of four masked youths enter Poundland, believing them to be migrants.

The team entered the store, asked them to leave and watched as they moved on. They also spoke to numerous locals about their roles.

Some residents in Colchester claimed that the arrival of the migrants has made some women and families avoid the city centre altogether. 

Elena Sokolova, 38, told the Daily Mail: ‘The problem is, they don’t integrate in society. I am a migrant and I integrated into the British way of life.

‘The men make comments about women, they say they should be dressed more and cover up. They film the girls in the town. It’s terrible. It’s really worrying.

‘Their attitude is totally different. More efforts need to be made to get them to integrate into the British way of life. That’s what I had to do. But they have their own culture.’

Two more security guards were seen on the streets of Chelmsford and contractors will also be conducting walkabouts in Colchester

For Sophie Edmonds, 33, the problem is personal.

The shop worker says she has experienced ‘big issues’ with male migrants and now avoids walking around Colchester alone.

She added: ‘Me and my friends have had comments and looks. They make noises. I hate it. We don’t walk around here on our own. It’s too worrying.

‘They stare in groups. It’s really intimidating. I’ve lived here all my life. I never had a bad experience in Colchester until the migrants moved into the camp.

‘I feel so passionately about it because you shouldn’t feel unsafe in your own town. You should be fine to walk out in the day and go to work without fear of something bad happening. Nobody listens to us though.’

Ms Edmonds believes the impact extends beyond young women.

She added: ‘I think everyone is impacted. The town is nowhere near as busy as it used to be. You’d rather shop in a town where you’re not going to feel scared to walk through. That makes sense if people are being menaced.

‘It feels like a no-go area.’

Locals in Chelmsford said they were ‘relieved’ and ‘overjoyed’ at the scheme.

John Howes, who lives nearby, said his wife and daughter are now too scared to enter the city.

The 66-year-old said: ‘My wife and daughter came on Saturday night into Chelmsford and they won’t be coming back.

‘I think this is a really good idea. People are terrified. I know a woman who has been followed across the town by a migrant. Some are really scared.

‘The vibe of Chelmsford has changed totally since the migrants moved into that former RAF base. They hang around in big groups, it’s very disturbing.

‘People are too afraid to walk the streets alone. How did it come to this? It’s appalling. I am relieved at these new patrols in action.’

Mr Howes said he felt ‘reassured’ by the new security patrols, adding: ‘It’s a very good feeling. We need to get our area back.’

Lee Summers, 45, has lived in Chelmsford all his life and said lack of police on the streets had made the situation worse.

He added: ‘You don’t see police around here. Yet there’s been numerous reports for months and months now. I know women who come out in groups. They won’t come in here alone.

‘It’s a good idea to have these extra patrols. But how did it come to this? Where have the police been? That’s the shocking reality of it all. I feel safer for my family to know they’ll be extra boots on the ground.

‘But I’d like to see them out of that centre once and for all. I’m just overjoyed we have a council that’s finally seeing the problem and taking action.’

Lea Sessions, 59, said she was aware of reports of migrants following women in the town.

She added: ‘I feel so intimidated here. I have had someone follow me. I know migrants have followed women and girls as well. We’re all so worried.

‘I think we’re right to be worried. I’ve been saying we need some private security on the streets. It’s a really worrying situation.’

The patrols are from the company My Local Bobby, owned by former Metropolitan Police detective chief inspector David Mckelvey.

Mr Mckelvey said he was pleased with the partnership, adding: ‘This is about making people safer and making people feel safer.

‘The patrols provide reassurance. We have teams up and down the country and this is the latest patrol we have.’

Essex County Council leader Peter Harris says the council is particularly concerned about women and girls.

He says the Home Office now operates 17 minibuses taking residents of Wethersfield into the three towns and cities on a daily basis.

Colchester City Council has welcomed the additional resources, while stressing that the transport arrangements are a Home Office decision rather than something requested by the city.

‘The transport of residents from the Wethersfield site into Colchester is a Home Office arrangement and not something requested by the City Council,’ said council leader Paul Dundas.

The Government has been accused of shifting the consequences of its asylum policy onto Essex communities such as in Colchester

Colchester shop worker Rebar Puladi, 24, believes more police are needed

RAF Wethersfield began accommodating asylum seekers in July 2023 and is operated by Clearsprings Ready Homes on behalf of the Home Office.

It provides accommodation for single adult men aged between 18 and 65 while their asylum claims are processed.

The Government says the site is intended to be as self-sufficient as possible, with communal facilities, healthcare and recreational areas. 

Security staff are also present around the clock and residents undergo checks against immigration, security and criminality databases. 

But the site’s remote location means transport is provided into nearby communities where more services are available.

This has created an unusual situation in Colchester, where groups of men from the same accommodation centre can arrive together in minibuses before spending time in the city.

Mary Sage, 70, has lived in Colchester for 30 years and believes those coming to Britain need to integrate more.

She said: ‘I think, regardless of who you are, if you’ve not lived in an area for three years then you should not get a house yet.

‘My feeling about all of this is, when will all of this stop?

‘For the migrants, what are they going to do? Dropping them off in a town means they’ll just be hanging around here in big groups. What are they going to be doing all day?

‘If you believe some people, we will soon have a doctor for every person in Colchester with the amount of migrants coming here.’

Shop worker Rebar Puladi, 24, believes more police are needed.

He said: ‘We don’t see police very often. It’s a real problem. The town is not as busy as it used to be. People, I think, have been put off from visiting.’

Alec Hillyard, 85, who has lived in Colchester all his life, also believes footfall has declined.

He said: ‘I am all for immigration, as long as when they come over here they can go to work. They should be learning skills. The town is more empty than it used to be.

‘And there’s plenty of things the taxpayer money should be spent on. We have terrible potholes for a start.’

Their concerns come as the Government prepares to increase the size of Wethersfield.

In June, the Home Office told Braintree District Council that the site’s standard operational capacity would rise from 800 to 1,245 – an increase of more than 50 per cent – and that it wants the centre to continue operating beyond 2027.

Mr Harris has accused the Government of shifting the consequences of its asylum policy onto Essex communities, arguing that while hotels are being closed, asylum seekers are instead being concentrated at sites such as Wethersfield and transported into neighbouring towns. 

Braintree District Council has also criticised the decision, saying the rural site lacks the infrastructure to accommodate such numbers.

The Home Office insists that the purpose of Wethersfield is to provide managed accommodation and help end the use of expensive asylum hotels.

It also says transport into local communities is provided where necessary to access services that are not available on site.

It also added that public safety is a priority and that the Wethersfield site has 24-hour security, CCTV and ongoing engagement with Essex Police and local authorities. 

In a statement to the inquiry, West Berkshire District Council said the application was based on “the legal principle that a public footpath can be deemed to exist if it has been enjoyed by the public for an uninterrupted period of 20 years, without force, secrecy or permission, or if evidence infers that a public footpath has been dedicated by a landowner at some point in the past and that dedication has then been accepted by the public (i.e. by being used by the public)”.

The FBI has released a chilling ransom call made after 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox vanished to the devastation of her family

A family’s chilling phone call in details every parents‘ worst nightmare – told their daughter had been kidnapped and ordered to pay a ransom for the return of their beloved and missing 14-year-old daughter.

The FBI made public a phone call from 1974 in a fresh bid to find Margaret Ellen Fox, who has been missing for 50 years.

Margaret Ellen Fox was last seen getting off a bus in Mount Holly, New Jersey, her brother accompanied her to the bus stop. She was heading to an interview for a babysitting position.

She was scheduled to meet with a man who identified himself as ‘John Marshall’, according to CNN.

It is thought Marshall told Margaret he would collect her in a red Volkswagen, and witnesses reported seeing a young girl fitting her description alighting from a bus that same morning.

An eerie ransom call was later made to Margaret’s family home just hours after she was reported missing.

The unidentified caller claimed to be holding her captive. In the call, the man chillingly says: “$10,000 might be a lot of bread, but your daughter’s life is the buttered topping.”

The call ended after Margaret’s mother replied: “Who is this?”. The number the horrifying call came from was later traced to a phone booth at a supermarket in a nearby town, Lumberton.

The nature of the call meant authorities immediately knew that Megan’s disappearance was suspicious, believing that she had been kidnapped.

Several other parents complained of men trying to lure their daughters with fake job offers. In 1976, a suspect in her case confessed to involvement in her disappearance but it turned out to be false.

The FBI also announced a reward of up to $25,000 (£19,706) for information leading to an arrest when they released the audio enhanced version of the man’s voice in 2019.

Burlington City Police Chief John Fine said: “The disappearance of Margaret Fox has haunted this community for decades. I want to bring closure to this case and bring home an answer to the Fox family and community.”

Burlington County prosecutor Scott Coffina said: “If someone out there possesses information that could assist the investigators working to solve this mystery, I urge you to come forward.”

Authorities issued a computer-generated image of Margaret, depicting how she might look today at 59.

Margaret is described as having brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a light blue, long-sleeved floral shirt and maroon-coloured flared jeans.

Julie Ramsey has revealed how she was left bedbound, unable to wash and contemplating suicide after suffering nine months of agonising topical steroid withdrawal.

A woman was left bed bound, unable to wash and suicidal for nine months after getting withdrawals when she stopped using steroid creams to treat her eczema.

Julie Ramsey, 48, was prescribed steroid creams by her doctor in childhood, to treat her eczema. But after stopping the creams in October 2020, Julie, from Aberdeen, faced nine months of “excruciating pain” which left her bed-bound after she battled a condition known as topical steroid withdrawal (TSW).

TSW is when a person gets severe reactions when strong topical steroids have been used for a prolonged period, usually more than a year, to treat eczema.

After stopping the creams Julie, who holds two Guinness World Records for her historic 18,000 drive from the North to the South Pole in an electric car, was left blistered and covered in open wounds.

Julie was left bed bound, unable to wash or sleep, and even contemplating taking her own life as a result of the ongoing pain all over her body and face.

After nine months of “hell”, Julie’s symptoms finally began to ease, and she’s raising awareness of TSW this Eczema Awareness Week as she shares her harrowing story for the first time in her debut book ‘Driven to the Extreme’.

Julie, public speaker, said: “I looked like a burns victim and had open wounds bleeding and weeping from every part of my body.

“Where there was skin there was pain.

“I didn’t know when it was going to end.

“I was in extreme agony, excruciating pain, I didn’t recognise myself anymore because of how I looked.

“I was trusting my gut instinct that what I was doing was right. But I kept thinking, ‘Am I going to get an infection? Is this going to get worse? When will this end?”

Julie stopped the steroid creams after watching a YouTube film about eczema sufferers whose condition had eased once they came off the creams.

Julie spent months in agony, covered in weeping burn-like sores, and she spent 24 hours a day in bed being cared for by husband Chris Ramsey, 49, as her skin ‘fell apart’

She was unable to wash for months – fearing water touching her skin would irritate it further and cause excruciating pain, exasperating the redness and unbearable itchiness.

The pain became so intense she considered taking her own life. Doctors were unable to help, admitting they knew little about the condition, and instead advised her to start using the cream again, she said.

Julie said: “My skin was in pieces. I was in excruciating pain around the clock.

“I would wake up and my bed would be soaked with blood, ooze and flakes.

“I would just lie there in tears every day.

“I couldn’t do anything. My confidence was shattered; my appetite was gone.

“The yo-yo effect of my cortisol levels from the withdrawal meant I was awake with insomnia during the night.”

TSW was only recognised in 2021 by the MHRA – the UK’s medicine watchdog – as a reaction to the long-term use of steroid creams – in particular those containing cortisone or hydrocortisone – but not as an official condition with a diagnosis and recognised set of symptoms.

Before enduring TSW Julie suffered from bad hay fever, was allergic to cats and horses and had to use lip balm every day. Now those allergies are nowhere near as bad, and she no longer uses lip balm and uses antihistamines a lot less.

Julie is now keen to raise awareness of the possibility steroid creams can aggravate eczema rather than cure it.

And in turn, possibly helping millions of people around the world improve their quality of life by overcoming their own skin condition.

She said: “I am convinced it was the cream all along. It may be the case that millions of eczema sufferers are making their condition worse by taking steroids.”

The extreme of overcoming TSW gave Julie the confidence and determination to join her husband on his mission from the Magnetic North Pole high up in the Canadian Arctic to the South Pole in Antarctica in their Nissan Ariya SUV between March and December 2023.

This saw them secure double Guiness world records for The First Expedition by an Electric Car from the Magnetic North Pole to the South Pole and The Longest Journey by an Electric Car in Antarctica.

She said: “Having endured the hell of TSW, you develop a warrior-like mentality and feel empowered to conquer anything because nothing can be worse than the sheer pain.

“It is through overcoming this adversity, it gave me the mental strength, courage and determination to support Chris 100% on his Pole-to-Pole electric vehicle (EV) Expedition as a way of gratitude and thanking him for saving my life, being my saviour and supporting me so selflessly during the darkest moments of my life. He was incredible.

“Without Chris as my support and caregiver, I would not have survived and come out the other end feeling stronger and empowered.

“Caregivers are often not given enough praise for their support. If it wasn’t for Chris by my side, I would not be here and the person I am today.”

Dr. George Moncrieff, a former GP who regularly lectures on dermatology topics to primary care and occasionally secondary care audiences, said: “”None of us really understands what is going on with TSW and patients are often left bewildered, abandoned and unsupported.

“The problem is the medical profession in general has been disastrously blinkered to TSW in the past.

“”There’s no doubt many patients have failed to use steroids adequately because the potential risks are constantly highlighted.

“It is notoriously frustrating to see someone with a steroid-responsive skin condition that is not controlled simply because the patient refuses to use a topical steroid.

“However, TSW is different and in this condition, further topical steroids would be a disaster. The problem is that this condition is often not recognised, it’s therefore not diagnosed and as a result it is assumed to be rare and often dismissed.

“TSW is a ghastly condition. It often destroys families and relationships.

“Patients will see little of their children for a few years, they will barely be able to get out of bed, let alone clean or wash themselves.

“Sometimes even water on the skin can be agony. They won’t be able to sleep and they can’t work.” Eczema UK and The British Association of Dermatologists refused to comment.

Julie and Chris titled their book Driven to the Extreme because, Julie endured the extremes of battling TSW, they went to the extremes of the earth to test the capability of electric vehicles, in doing so endured extreme off-roading terrains, experienced extreme temperatures, from -39C in the Arctic to +49C in the dessert, and not to mention testing the limits of their marriage too.

Julie added: “It is going through hell, adversity, sheer pain and suffering that you as an individual become stronger and believe you can do anything – if you can overcome and survive TSW you can survive anything like conquering going from Pole to Pole in an EV.”

Dorgu, the Denmark international, could operate as an out-and-out winger in Carrick’s 4-2-3-1 shape, giving Marcus Rashford some time off, while on the opposite flank, Amad Diallo’s ankle injury leaves them light on the right flank. That could well mean that Bryan Mbeumo is forced to start, although youngster Shea Lacey is also an option.

Megan Wright visited her GP about a knee injury. What she was told changed her life

A radiographer discovered she had leukaemia after brushing off her unexplained bruises as pole dancing injuries. Megan Wright, 28, lived a normal, active life until earlier this year when she noticed large bruises on her arms which took up to a month to disappear.

Megan, from Dundee, Scotland, visited her GP for an ongoing knee injury in February and casually mentioned the bruising as well as tiredness she thought might be a sign of anaemia. Her GP arranged a blood test and hours later she was told she had either lymphoma or leukaemia.

Megan underwent a bone marrow biopsy which confirmed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Megan said: “It was just a whirlwind.

“I’d gone from just going to the GP for something completely different to being diagnosed with leukaemia within days. I’ve still got quite a lot of treatment to go, but I’m in remission, which is obviously really good.

“I felt fit and healthy. I was doing pole fitness, going out with my friends and just living my normal life. Then suddenly I was being told I had leukaemia. You just don’t expect it to happen to you.”

Megan, who is sharing her story during Blood Cancer Awareness Month, initially put her tiredness due to slightly increased working hours. After her blood test at the GP she had a 20-minute long nose bleed – another sign of ALL.

Following her hospital admission, a consultant said she needed further tests to determine if she had lymphoma – cancer in the lymphatic system – or leukaemia – cancer in the blood and bone marrow. Three days later she was being diagnosed with leukaemia.

She said: “It was very hard to process because it all happened so quickly. They couldn’t delay treatment, so they had to start me on chemotherapy straight away.”

Since her diagnosis in February, Megan has undergone two five-week cycles of chemotherapy. A bone marrow biopsy following her second cycle showed no evidence of leukaemia, meaning Megan is currently in remission and does not need a stem cell transplant.

She still has further chemotherapy ahead, including additional rounds of treatment designed to reduce the risk of the disease returning. At 28, she feels caught between the services aimed at teenagers and young adults and the predominantly older patients she sees on the haematology ward.

She said: “I feel like I’m in a weird age bracket. I’m too old for some of the teenage cancer support, but I’m also one of the youngest people on the haematology ward.”

Leukaemia Care has helped Megan navigate some of those gaps. For Megan, the emotional impact of her diagnosis has been just as significant as the physical treatment.

Her job means she understands cancer from a professional perspective, but experiencing it herself has been very different. She is now starting to get back to the life she enjoyed before her diagnosis. She has returned to her pole fitness studio for the first time since her diagnosis.

And she has just got engaged – after several months dominated by hospital appointments and chemotherapy. She said: “I’d love to get back to pole fitness properly and get back to work.

“I’m just very tired at the moment, so I can’t do the same amount as I used to. But hopefully once all this is over, I’ll get back to it.”

Now Megan is raising awareness of the symptoms of leukaemia as it was only because she mentioned the changes during an appointment for something completely unrelated that a blood test was carried out.

She added: “I probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it if people at work hadn’t said I should mention it while at the GP. But I’m really glad I did.”

Colin Dyer, chief executive of Leukaemia Care, said: “It is so important to recognise changes in your health, even when you’re young, active and otherwise feel well – just like Megan did.

“Her symptoms could easily have been attributed to her lifestyle or other everyday explanations, but mentioning them to her GP led to further investigation and, ultimately, her diagnosis.”
