A devastated mum has been given a terminal diagnosis just months after telling her children that she was cancer free.
Liathán O'Donnchadha, from Belfast, was told by doctors that she had a rare form of cancer on her 42nd birthday last year - cancer of the vagina which was also found along the line of her bladder - after she woke up in a pool of blood and severe pain.
The mum-of-two underwent a "soul destroying" and "horrific" course of treatment, which involved radiotherapy everyday for six weeks followed by chemotherapy every Tuesday.
