Now, as a cancer survivor, Crystal wants to stress the importance of “(listening) to your body” and getting checked if “something (isn’t) right”.

Weeks later, she received the devastating news that she had cervical cancer, and she then underwent an MRI and a CT scan.

However, despite Crystal’s fears, she knew she had to be strong for her husband, Clive, 39, a regional manager for British Gas, and her two children, Camron, 15, and Chaia, 12, as she did not want to “worry (her) family”.
