The 21-year-old diagnosed with thyroid cancer

Mid-morning on BBC Radio Somerset

Available for over a year

Meg McIntyre from Weston-super-Mare was just 20 when she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a year ago. She initially kept it all quite private, but she's now decided to share her story on social media, including some photos. Meg hopes that her experience could possibly help someone else and spot the signs of the cancer. She had a chat with our Morning Show Presenter Simon Parkin ahead of her operation.
