A mum who ignored symptoms of what turned out to be thyroid cancer has shared just how it is important to look out for warning signs - including dry skin and brittle hair.
Christina McKnight, now 35, thought little of her symptoms for weeks when she was 27-years-old, until she was "forced" to see a doctor by her husband, Matthew Mcknight, 36.
While Christina - who now has a five-year-old son - thought her symptoms were a result of stress at her job, they were actually tell-tale signs of something more sinister.
