Sally Hayton 
 
Patient Sally Hayton lives with Frank her partner. She has lived most of her life in Greater Manchester.
 
Sally is a never smoker and was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2013 and biomarker testing showed an ALK mutation. She is now being treated at The Christie Hospital.
 
She has always worked in the public sector. After leaving school she trained and worked as an occupational therapist (OT).
