Operation to join Joann and Neil a complete success

A cancer-stricken bride married her sweetheart in hospital after fearing her big day would be cancelled because of her treatment.

Joann Howells, 46, had resigned herself to postponing her wedding to partner Neil Ward, 45, due to her schedule of lung cancer treatment.

But when she disclosed her disappointment to staff at Worthing Hospital in West Sussex, they set about ensuring her dream would still be fulfilled on their planned day.
