In 2003, Delta faced the toughest moment of her life when she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a type of treatable cancer. Nevertheless, she has overcome this hurdle in her life and, in 2004, released her highly anticipated second album "Mistaken Identity", which is still enjoying success now. Delta also started work on a new Australian adaptation of the famous Australian novel Hating Alison Ashley (2005), where she plays the leading lady.
