She was a mum of six whose young children meant everything to her. But cervical cancer cut Leanne Hattersley's life tragically short when she was just 33.
As reported by Stoke-on-Trent Live, Leanne first suffered with irregular bleeding and leg pain. After repeated trips to her doctor, the mum from Blurton in Stoke-on-Trent received the devastating cancer diagnosis in December.
She first had chemotherapy, but suffered an anaphylactic shock and was instead offered radiotherapy for five weeks. In June she was told the cancer had spread to her bladder and it was terminal, and she sadly died on October 20.
