‘LUNG CANCER IS SCARY– BUT MUM'S TREATMENT HAS BEEN BRILLIANT'

When Steps star Faye Tozer and her mother Dorothy arrive at our exclusive photoshoot, it’s one of just a handful of occasions they’ve been able to meet up in the past year. Faye’s eyes well with tears as she recalls their first hug after months apart. “We both had lumps in our throats, didn’t we, Mum?”

“It was amazing,” says Dorothy. “It’s a reminder of how important family is.”

Dorothy was placed on the vulnerable list during the first lockdown, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Then, as the mother and daughter exclusively reveal to OK!, Dorothy discovered she had lung cancer in December.

“I had a scan last year due to respiratory problems and they discovered growing cancer on the left lung, then a smaller, different cancer on the right lung,” she tells us, jokingly adding, “I like to go the whole hog!”

Dorothy had an operation to remove cancer in the left lung in March. Then last week, she underwent CyberKnife treatment, a robotic radiotherapy procedure, to tackle cancer in the right lung.

Faye, 45, says they feel fortunate that the disease was “caught at the right time” and that Dorothy was in the hands of incredible doctors and nurses at Harefield and Luton and Dunstable University hospitals.
