A father and daughter are both battling cancer at the same time, with the daughter having breast cancer and father battling kidney cancer.

Jessica Duffield, 22, has been forced to put her studies on hold after she was diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time in three years while her dad fights kidney cancer.The 22-year-old was just 19 when she was first diagnosed with the condition and underwent chemotherapy.

But last year, she received the terrifying news that the cancer had returned and she has now been having radiotherapy.

As a result, Jessica, who studies food manufacturing at Chester University, has had to defer her third year.

Her dad Keith Duffield was diagnosed with kidney cancer after medics found a tumour on his spine.

Jessica, from Newcastle, told Stoke on Trent Live : “I had a CT scan last February and nothing was picked up. My oncologist then looked at it in August, spotted abnormalities, and booked me in for another CT scan.

"I was looking at the symptoms online and feeling anxious. A few weeks later, they told me I had secondary breast cancer.
