When Laura posted her first Stage 4 secondary cancer update on Facebook she couldn't have known what would happen next. It was originally intended to be a way to update her family and friends on her treatment. But very quickly she noticed something unplanned and unexpected.
People from outside her circle were finding her on social media. She took her story across to Instagram and without any planning or marketing she quickly amassed a 30,000-plus following at the time of writing. Cancer patients, survivors, carers - and people totally unconnected with no experience of cancer whatsoever quickly loved her natural, engaging personality.
As a result, Laura has not only made very many friends but created a community of cancer positivity that challenges the way many think of the disease. This episode reveals the profound impact of turning private struggles into public strength.
So at home in Norfolk, she's Laura Middleton-Hughes. And on Instagram, she's Bald Boobless And Beautiful.
