A mum was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer just weeks after giving birth to her son Reuben. Four weeks after she gave birth, the first-time mum Fi Leyshon felt exhausted, sick and in pain.
She put it down to 'motherhood' but when her symptoms didn't go away she had a gut feeling that there was something else happening to her body. "There was one night where Rueben was 11-weeks-old and I was lying in bed with a really bad pain in my left side.
"I'm quite good with dealing with pain and just cracking on but something was telling me I needed to call 111, Fi told Lancs Live. She continued: They thought I might have had kidney stones and they sent an ambulance because I had just had a baby and they wanted to be extra cautious.
