WHEN Amber Lechmere underwent treatment for cancer, it changed her life in many ways, including her career. Amber was treated at Stratford Hospital’s Rigby Unit after being diagnosed with cancer in October 2021, during the Covid pandemic. Four years later, Amber now works at the Rigby Unit and is planning to give something back by shaving her head – the fundraising event will take place on 22nd October – the anniversary of her diagnosis. Amber said that being able to offer her personal experience of going through cancer treatment has been an important part of her job.
