A mum was told she could have months left to live after complaining of pain in her side.
Ros Atkins, from Gateacre, was on holiday with her husband John, 42, and their daughter Maggie, six, in Scotland when she first started experiencing pain in the right side of her body which felt like a stitch. The 43-year-old said she thought she might have pulled a muscle while sleeping in different hotel beds at the time, but when the pain got worse on returning home she booked an appointment to see her GP.
Ros said: "I can only describe it as like a stitch in the right hand side. It started to be quite painful when I took a full intake of breath, that's the only way I can describe it really."
