A brave woman who spent years fighting for an explanation for her constant bouts of sickness has just days to live after marrying her partner.
Ashleigh McMahon first approached doctors about her symptoms in 2018 and had no idea it would be the start of a four-year battle for answers. The 29-year-old was initially believed to be suffering from cyclical vomiting syndrome, and was then diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
But, the reality of her condition was far more serious. After taking a turn for the worse in January 2023, she was admitted to Royal Liverpool Hospital, and was diagnosed with mucinous ovarian carcinoma, a rare, aggressive type of ovarian cancer.
