Further tests and an MRI confirmed it had spread to the lymph nodes in the area, and Sharon had another surgery in February 2022. "She gave me a row," Sharon explained, before getting straight on the phone with her mother's doctors. "I didn't say anything to anyone because it was in the middle of December, Christmas was coming, and I didn't want to spoil anybody's Christmas." Sharon waited until her daughter Ffion's birthday had passed on the 28th before saying anything.
Unfortunately, just before Christmas in 2021, Sharon found another lump at the top of her leg, near her groin area.

"I've got a massive scar on my arm now that's never going to heal.," Sharon added, "They just put a skin graft over the top, so you could practically see right inside." On August 25, she had an eight-hour operation to remove the sarcoma and rebuild the area with nerves and vessels from her forearm. The following day it was confirmed Sharon had a rare cancer, Myxofibrosarcoma, in her left foot, and her treatment began.

"She saw my foot and the first thing she said was you need a scan on that straight away," Sharon explained. Thankfully, working in the Diabetes Centre, there was a podiatrist on-site when Sharon next returned to work between her doctor's visits.

The 53-year-old mother explained, "I noticed my shoe was feeling a bit tighter than normal, and I'd had this lump on my foot for a while anyway, probably a couple of months that I'd really noticed it, so I went to the doctors the following week."

"This year I told my team that I want people to laugh at every 15 feet," says Patrick Rozon, Vice President for all content - indoors and out - for Juste Pour Rire, the Francophone side of the festival. The outdoor side is also family friendly so the streets - closed off to cars, not clowns - are crawling with kids.
