A Norwich woman is to launch herself out of a plane on the four year whippleversary of life-saving surgery for pancreatic cancer, which was found after she went for a drink at Costa with friends.
Gwen Touhami, 52, from Sprowston, said if the events of March 23, 2017, had been any different she would not be here after she went to A&E with a suspected gallstones episode.
Scans and a biopsy found the mum-of-four had a 2cm tumour on the head of her pancreas and required Whipple surgery at Addenbrooke s, in Cambridge, to remove a third of her pancreas, gallbladder, bile duct, duodenum and part of her stomach.
