Clean Victory: Uni cleaner makes cancer recovery

A York cleaner has triumphed and made it into the hallowed pages of the York Press after beating brain cancer and finally being able to drive again.

It is highly unusual for victims of brain cancer to be able to drive again, so this is a big win for Becky Dodd, who works as a cleaner at the University of York.

The tumour which she had was the size of a tennis ball according to the Press, and after having it removed, Becky received her Driver’s License from the DVLA early last week.

She commented: “It’s the last hurdle cleared now, it feels brilliant. Everyone got phone calls yesterday. I was crying and laughing and everything.”

“I shocked my mum at first because of the laughing, but it’s great to have it back.”
