A Nottingham student who found out she had a 'quite deadly' form of cancer in her last year of university has completed her dissertation from her hospital bed. Katie Mortimer has spoken over the 'shock' after being diagnosed in February last year.
The 23-year-old was completing her joint honours course in Communications, Society and Linguistics at Nottingham Trent University's Clifton campus when her life turned upside down. "It was crazy", she told Nottinghamshire Live.
She added: "I literally felt like I was hit by a bus for about a few weeks. It was within ten days that I started feeling ill and then I got diagnosed.
