Patient tells of ongoing cancer fight as rise in sufferers predicted

One in two people will develop cancer, according to the latest forecast from Cancer Research UK.

Previous predictions claimed that more than one in three people would develop the disease.

The charity says two-thirds of the increased risk is down to a growing elderly population, while a third is due to lifestyle factors.

Geoff Pearce, from Ebbw Vale, discovered he had cancer in 2012.

He spoke to BBC Radio Wales.
