A woman who thought she had shed 40kg in nine months due to stress has discovered she has cancer of the womb – and is now facing the financial pressure of heating her home after the illness and chemotherapy left her shivering cold.
Ann Coates, 48, from Budleigh Salterton in Devon, was taken to hospital in September after experiencing severe pain in her abdomen. Having dropped from 134kg in January to 102kg that day – she discovered she had cancer in both her uterus and the back wall of her uterus.
