Regular film and TV session work fills a lot of Carol’s diary and she can also be frequently found performing in London’s West End shows.

Just two years after graduating, Carol was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, an illness that would stay with her for the next seven years. During that time, Carol endured countless chemotherapy regimes, radiotherapy, two transplants and three clinical trials. Her story of how she continued to tour the world between therapies, and how she survived against the odds is one that has inspired people all over the world.
