An East Belfast mum has said that "even with the best treatment available" she will only have two years left with her children after an aggressive form of breast cancer has spread throughout her body.
Chelsea McCreight was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and despite undergoing a double mastectomy and other treatment, the disease has returned and spread to other organs and lymph nodes in her body, with doctors saying that treatment could only prolong her life for another year.
The 29-year-old has two young sons, aged three and five, and is also very close with her eight-year-old step-daughter and has said that she is willing to do all that she can to spend more time with them. She added that she hopes that other treatments could be made available for her as she "has an awful lot of fight still in her".

This week she is due to start immunotherapy and weekly chemotherapy sessions, which she hopes will be able to combat the disease, but doctors have warned her that even if it is successful, she would only have two years to live.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Chelsea said: "It just feels like it has been one thing after the other this past year and no matter what I do nothing seems to be working out for me.
