A mum diagnosed with thyroid cancer after ignoring tell-tale signs has issued a warning on social media. Christina McKnight, now 35, originally put her symptoms down to stress at work after a recent promotion but her concerned husband, Matthew Mcknight, 36 ''forced'' her to see a doctor, the Mirror reports.
Christina was suffering from fatigue and brain fog which were both signs of concern for her doctor along with her brittle hair. After some investigations in hospital, the content creator from the US was given the devastating diagnosis.
She was informed that she had thyroid cancer in the autumn of 2014 despite being ''young, fit and healthy'' and also having no history of it in her family. She urged others to seek medical attention if they picked up on any signs as she confesses she should have listened to her body and gone to see her GP sooner.
