A nurse who worked through the pandemic has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, after believing her cough was a result of long covid.
Victoria Puar, 46, caught the virus during a camping trip with her family in August 2021 and suffered with a horrible cough for months afterwards. Believing the cough was the result of long covid, Victoria was finally sent for tests earlier this year - which ultimately showed she has terminal cancer.
The mum-of-two, from Castle Bromwich, West Midlands, is now urging everybody suffering with a cough to get it checked out as soon as they can. Her colleagues are also trying to raise money so that Victoria can take her kids to Disneyland in the time she has left.
