A "selfless" woman who spent years fighting for answers about her constant bouts of sickness now only has days left to live after marrying her husband. Ashleigh McMahon, 29, first started experiencing symptoms in 2018 of what doctors initially believed to be cyclical vomiting syndrome before she was later diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
However, she had no idea that it would be the beginning of a six-year health battle, as the reality of her condition was sadly far more serious, the Liverpool ECHO reports. Ashleigh took a turn for the worse in January 2023 and was admitted to Royal Liverpool Hospital, where she was diagnosed with a rare aggressive type of ovarian cancer called mucinous ovarian carcinoma.
After a "magical" wedding with her long term partner of 11 years on Monday April 3, the newlywed, who now only has days left to live, has urged other women to "listen to their bodies" and "fight for your diagnosis".
