The unnamed Doctor was an oncologist who was in charge of Cilla Battersby-Brown's care after she had been diagnosed with skin cancer. Without informing family or friends, Cilla initially saw the doctor at the Clarence Clinic in November 2006 and was immediately told that the melanoma that had been removed was in fact malignant. The doctor explained that the next step was to establish how far the cancer had spread and she was booked into Weatherfield General for a sentinel node biopsy.
