A primary school teacher has shared how she thought she was going through the menopause — only to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Emma Durkin, 48, a primary school teacher from West Denton in Newcastle was handed the so-called 'silent killer' diagnosis despite suffering from very few symptoms.
The mum-of-two says her problems started when her periods became irregular and she began to feel pain, which she believed was her experiencing the menopause.
