A mum was told she had just two years to live following a devastating cancer diagnosis - but five years later she is still alive and fighting the rare illness.
Brave Gemma Ellis, 39, was told by doctors that she was terminally ill back in 2017 and was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer after months of tests. The former NHS worker quit her job and did not know how long she had left with her two young children.
She went through six rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and 15 gruelling rounds of radiotherapy before incurable lesions were found on a CT scan on her lungs and spine in April 2018.
