A mum was told she had just eight weeks to live after being sent home from work with a backache - which was later diagnosed as cancer.
Christine Emery, from Warrington, first went to the doctor after being signed off for a week by her employer, Lidl, when she started to suffer with severe pains in her back.
Despite being told the agonising pain was down to arthritis or gallstones by numerous doctors, it was only when Christine visited a fourth professional that a red flag was raised.
