A woman who has always kept fit, has been diagnosed with cancer for the second time in her life. Kelly Harrop from Glossop has been diagnosed with lung cancer despite regularly running marathons and not smoking.
The 48-year-old who works on a farm in Chisworth was first diagnosed with cancer back in 2015 when doctors found a tumour in her lung. Just 40 at the time, Kelly developed lung cancer due to an abnormal gene.
She underwent surgery and chemotherapy which saw the disease removed. However, doctors knew there was a risk that it could return and enrolled her in a new research programme that would monitor her health called TRACERx.

After five years in the scheme, she was given the all clear, but unfortunately, after a recent check up, she was told that the cancer had remerged.
Kelly said: “Because I took part in TRACERx they monitored me longer than the usual five years and it’s a good job they did as when I went last time, they said they had found more cancer. If I hadn’t been checked I wouldn’t know anything about it.
"Then here we are in a whirlwind of a couple of weeks, and it always seems to happen just before Christmas.
“I am now on a targeted therapy treatment which can’t cure my cancer but can slow it down. I am just getting on with my life. I love being outside in the fresh air every day, it just keeps everything normal.
"Then when the time comes to face things, I’ll face it then. I don’t know how long it’ll be, and so I’ll just keep doing my normal things until I can no longer do my normal things.”
TRACERx is a project funded by Cancer Research UK. The £14m programme was set up 10 years ago to find new ways to treat future
