A retired primary school teacher was horrified to be told she has months to live after doctors first put her night sweats down to the menopause.
Christine Rennie, known as Chris, had already been unwell for a year in 2017. The 63-year-old had made multiple trips to her GP - but the bone pain she was suffering was thought to be arthritis, night sweats were put down to the menopause and her asthma the cause of her chest infections.
But in May of that year, a blood test finally revealed a horrific diagnosis. Chris had myeloma, a terminal blood cancer that develops from the cells in the bone marrow - the years that followed were brutal.
