(From Nottingham Evening Post)

When 34-year-old Richard Donohue was diagnosed with cancer a year ago his Macmillan nurse was his biggest support.

The specialist nurse became his friend - a shoulder to cry on as well as someone to take care of his health.

When he heard that she could be among those facing the axe at Nottingham's two hospitals, he was devastated.

Strongly opposed to any staff cuts he said: "I have been a cancer patient at the City Hospital for just over a year and I can't tell you how amazing they are and what a valuable job they do.
