Fighting ovarian cancer as a student

A student who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her first year of university has created videos and animations to help other young people through illness.

β€œThey found the mass on the right hand side, and I had to have an operation,” said Seren Hughes.

β€œMy needs to a woman who’s 40 with ovarian cancer was totally different, and what I wanted to talk about and what was important to me was completely different.”

β€œI think it’s important to still do what you want, and to not let that become you,” added the 22-year-old.

As part of her recovery, Seren will be running the London Marathon in 2018.
