Although not initially concerned, Hannah visited her GP, who thought it could be hormonal because of her young age. But after insisting on a scan, she received the devastating diagnosis.
“When I was told I had cancer, I just burst into tears. My mum and dad were with me and they broke down too. It was the worst day of mine and my family’s life," the 29-year-old said.
“I immediately asked if I was going to die. Then I thought about how I’d lose my hair, I loved my long blonde hair, it was my crown."
Before Hannah underwent surgery to remove an 8cm tumour, followed by an intensive course of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy at The Christie, she received even more devastating news. Doctors warned the treatment would make her infertile.
Hannah said: “Then the worst part came. My partner Cameron and I had recently decided to try for a baby and they said I needed to prepare for the fact that I may never be able to have children, as the treatment was likely to make me infertile. This felt worse than the news that I had cancer.”
But to her amazement, shortly after she was given the all clear, Hannah, along with partner, Cameron, also 29, welcomed their “miracle baby” Billie, now 18-months-old, into

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Everything is supercharged when it comes to the long-running “Mission: Impossible” franchise, and that extends to the movie’s audition process. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Hayley Atwell revealed that her screen test for the mysterious role of Grace in the two-part “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” required a two-hour screen test that was essentially a stunt training course. Some actors screen test with dialogue, but not “Mission: Impossible” actors. “Who the character has become is a byproduct of the process,” the film’s writer-director Christopher McQuarrie said. “So when we went into the screen test, we’ve not written a character that we’re trying to find someone to fit with. Rather, we’re looking for an actress who we want to work with and we’ll fit the character to her.”’
Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International The U.K.’s media watchdog, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), has upheld two complaints lodged by women’s rights charities against Jeremy Clarkson’s December column in The Sun about Meghan Markle. Variety can reveal that after a months-long process, IPSO found that the “Grand Tour” host’s column breached Clause 12 of the regulator’s Editors’ Code of Practice, which relates to discrimination. The case marks the first time in its nine-year history that IPSO has upheld a complaint on the basis of sexism. As a result, The Sun has been instructed to publish a summary of the regulator’s findings in the spot where Clarkson’s column regularly appears in the print edition, and reference the decision on its front page and website homepage for 24 hours — something the tabloid hasn’t been forced to do since 2016, when its front-page “Queen Backs Brexit” splash was found to have breached press regulations.

whether TCM — which shows predominately studio era films from the 1960s and earlier — will exist by the end of the year.By coincidence, last week TheWrap spoke to “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” director James Mangold who, during a discussion of his appreciation of old cinema, spoke warmly about TCM and it’s place as a repository of knowledge and history for films as a medium“Part of the joy of loving these movies is that they feel a little bit like they’re just ours and not everybody [elses],” Mangold told TheWrap. “The reality is that there is all sorts of great art that doesn’t necessarily reach a mass audience; it doesn’t have the support of mass marketing; it doesn’t have contemporary stars, with both gossip and press pieces floating through the blogosphere; it doesn’t have anything in support of that that’s going to make it topical and a must see in the moment,” Mangold said.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Superhero fatigue” is a phrase that tends to make devoted movie lovers swoon with rapture. If you’re someone who cares about movies, who cares about cinema, the very prospect of superhero fatigue inspires you to think: Yes! There’s hope! People will get tired of this shit! But let’s be honest — that’s probably wishful thinking. In the last 20 years, led by Marvel but by no means limited to Marvel, comic book movies have infiltrated our culture and our consciousness to the point that they’re now part of who we are. If you ask any number of people, especially dudes of a certain generation, to name their favorite film, they will look at you and say “Star Wars,” often with a smirk that’s really saying, “’Star Wars,’ of course!” These aren’t just “Star Wars” fans. They’re “Star Wars” fundamentalists, who built the seedbeds of their imaginations on the original trilogy.
It was the best and worst of news — depending on who you asked!
