The fiancé of a woman who died after a battle with secondary breast cancer has spoken of the devastating moment they realised they were not going to grow old together.

Sharon Addison was given the all-clear from breast cancer after extensive treatment but a secondary form of the illness developed and she died in 2014, aged 44.

Her partner Colin Leslie spoke out as part of a campaign by Breast Cancer Now, which is calling on politicians to help stop women dying from the illness by 2050.

Mr Leslie, from Edinburgh, said: "It's so indiscriminate, cancer. It can pick on anybody at any time. I passionately hope that one day we are not in this situation."
