A mum-of-two has spoken of her devastation after learning that her cancer is incurable. Nicole Smith, from Salford, is now planning to undergo treatment for "as long as possible" having been told that her cervical cancer has spread to her lungs.
Nicole, 38, was originally diagnosed with cancer five years ago after complaining of stomach pains and experiencing some irregular bleeding. On her feelings when doctors explained that her cancer was terminal, she told the Manchester Evening News : "I was just devastated, because before there was always hope.
"Every other time I went to treatment it was with the intent to cure, but they told me this time it had spread to my lungs and somewhere else but I’ve asked them not to tell me where.” Nicole has two sons - 19-year-old James and Jack, who is eight - and is also a grandmother to Chase.
