Scots woman who 'wouldn't live past 35' given second chance with heart transplant

A Scots woman who was told she might not live past 35 has been given a second chance at life after receiving a heart transplant.

Megan Geddes, from Dalmuir in Clydebank, became so ill due to heart failure that she had to stay in hospital while she urgently waited for a donor. Miraculously, she was able to go home seven weeks later after getting the "the most amazing gift".

The 29-year-old first had a recurring chest infection when she was just 13 and was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The unknown condition meant she was referred to London while she spent the next five years undergoing constant tests.
