A mum who pushed for more tests after having a "gut instinct" over her symptoms was given the heartbreaking news she has terminal cancer. Lisa Dearnley was set to celebrate her fifth anniversary of being cancer free in December, having previously undergone treatment for breast cancer back in 2017.
But the 41-year-old immediately knew something was wrong when she started wheezing all the time and made an appointment with her GP. Doctors initially thought the mum-of-two was suffering from adult onset asthma and she was prescribed an inhaler, before going for an chest x-ray and further tests.
However, when Lisa's oximeter showed she had low levels of oxygen, she was told to go straight to A&E. After being admitted to Arrowe Park Hospital, doctors found she had blood clots - but Lisa had a gut instinct that something still wasn't right and pushed for more tests.
