Woman gets shock cancer diagnosis after 'putting symptoms down to age'
A woman from Co Down has opened up about her cancer story in a bid to encourage others to have their symptoms checked.
"The tests showed that I had a very low blood count and was extremely anaemic, so I was prescribed iron tablets." Weeks later, she underwent surgery in the Ulster Hospital to have the right side of her colon removed. "After each session, I had to deal with this mentally because whenever I started to feel better, I had to then go for the next session of chemotherapy, but I just had to push myself through it. I had great support from my son and daughter-in-law who helped me during my treatment and recovery, which I am very grateful for."
"I am looking forward to my future, my son and daughter-in-law are moving over from England, so it will be great to have them closer to me. I can’t wait to get back out in the garden and work in my allotment."
