A mother who was told she had just two months to live after being sent home from work with a backache found out it was actually cancer.
Christine Emery, from Warrington, first sought medical attention after being signed off for a week by her work, Lidl, when she began to feel sharp pains in her back, The Mirror reports.
While doctors did suggest it was down to arthritis or gallstones, it was only when Christine sought a fourth professional that a red flag began to pop up.
