Louise Chambers was living a healthy life.
Just months ago, the mum-of-two worked as a carer for a five-year-old boy who has brain damage, whilst living with her partner of three years and visiting her grown-up sons, aged 21 and 24. However, at the end of February, her life changed forever when she noticed things weren't quite right during a family holiday to Lincoln, LancsLive reports.
As she was driving her left leg "felt a bit heavy on the clutch", which felt like she was suffering with a painful cramp, she said. As a result, she returned home a day early and rang the doctors on the way, where she got an appointment straight away.
