The family of a teacher who was given a shock diagnosis after suffering back pain are desperately trying to raise cash to bring her home from Vietnam so she can have treatment. Selena Danson was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer in December after initially suffering with back pain in August.
The 39-year-old, who moved to Vietnam to teach, made a string of trips to the hospital but was told she had a slipped disc. But the situation got worse and she was rushed to hospital, where she was given the terrifying diagnosis that she had stage four cervical cancer.
Selena, from Didsbury in south Manchester, is now hoping to return home to be with her family and get treatment at The Christie cancer centre, the Manchester Evening News reports. Sadly, the cancer has spread from her cervix to her lymph nodes and liver.
