An invincible grandmother-of-eight has finally got her life back - after surviving cancer FIVE TIMES in 20 years. Sharon Twyman, 57, was hit with her first bout of breast cancer in 1988 at only 29 years-old with three young children. She battled with life-threatening breast and bowel cancer and has watched her mum, dad and husband die quickly from the disease. Now Sharon is back to full health, aside from her right arm having less feeling due to treatment, and back at work and in remission. In total, Mrs Twyman has had one year of chemotherapy, radiotherapy every day for six and a half weeks and one breast removed. Gravesend, Kent
