WHEN Judy Green was diagnosed with cancer in the middle of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, she feared it could not have come at a worse time.
The mother of two and grandmother of four, from Whitefield, had been for a routine mammogram early in March when doctors gave her the news.
Ms Green was told she had early stage breast cancer and needed urgent surgery and radiotherapy.
She said: “It was obviously a shock to be diagnosed, but for it to happen at a time when services were about to be placed under such extreme pressure was even more unfortunate."
Following her diagnosis Ms Green was taken into the care of Rochdale Infirmary where she started her treatment.
At the outbreak of the pandemic the hospital had been specially remodelled to treat patients requiring urgent cancer-related procedures from around Greater Manchester.
