A primary school teacher has opened up about the moment she was diagnosed with leukaemia after suffering from a sore throat.
Bethan Cawley has shared her story as it's revealed that only 1% of people surveyed in the North East were able to identify all four of the most widely reported symptoms of blood cancer. They are fatigue, bruising, unusual bleeding and repeated infections.
The disease affects people of all ages and kills 5,000 people a year in the UK. 28 people are diagnosed with leukaemia everyday in the UK and the overall survival rate stands at just over 50% - making it one of the most deadly forms of cancer.
