'I survived cancer and deadly superbug'

"They said: `Well, she's very poorly; she might not pull through'. "
Dianne said: "Everyone thought I was going to go."
The infection drama in February, 2002, wasn't the former nanny's first brush with death.
When she was first diagnosed with non-Hodgkinson's lymphoma a month previously, consultants said she had only a 30% chance of survival.
But chemotherapy blitzed the cancer and now, as far as she knows, it's still at bay.
Brave Dianne told her story to the Examiner today to highlight the good work of Macmillan Cancer Relief.
The charity is holding a Bring £1 To Work day on Thursday. It is hoped that scores of Huddersfield businesses will take part.
