'Cancer is a very lonely experience'
A woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer says that after she was given the all-clear she experienced "crashing, black, bleak depression".
Katherine Locke describes cancer as "a very lonely experience" and that "nobody can go through it with you. It's just you and your body".
Her story comes as a record 2 and a half million people living with cancer in the UK in 2015, an increase of almost half a million people in the past five years, according to Macmillan Cancer Support.
