A pregnant mum is facing a heartbreaking race against time after doctors gave her just 24 hours to live - over a month ago. Carrie Dodds, who was diagnosed with acute Myeloid Leukaemia on June 26, is desperate to keep fighting the disease so she can give birth and marry the man of her dreams.
The 40-year-old says she is still here "against all odds", after concerned medics told her she may not survive for more than a day. The mum-of-five from Blackpool, who is currently 25 weeks pregnant, hopes to fulfil her dream of marrying her partner, Shaun, who she describes as her soulmate, reports Lancashire Live.
Carrie has been described by friends as "an absolute lioness" as she continues to fight the disease while protecting her unborn baby. She said her daughter will hopefully be induced at 32 weeks in order for her to receive stem cell treatment.
