Cancer patient: Diagnosis puts you in lonely 'bubble'

A cancer patient says she felt her diagnosis placed her in a lonely "bubble".

Vicky Waddington, who was 30 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, said her friends, though supportive, could not "fully understand" her situation.

"You never get a normal life back," she said. "I just feel sometimes I'm in a different world to my friends."
