A mum who thought she was just fighting off a flu was told she doesn't have long left to live after being diagnosed with an aggressive tumour that required a surgery to remove her entire nose. In the summer of 2021, Katie Froggatt began to come down with what she assumed was a common cold but as the weeks passed she found herself struggling to breathe at all.
To her and her husband Steven's horror, a cancerous growth began forming inside her nose and worsened to the point it was 'coming out of her nose, like a sausage out of her nostril'. The couple were given the devastating news that Katie had a tumour which would require a horrific operation to remove her nose to increase her chances of survival, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Despite surgeons removing the 39-year-old's entire nose, the hair stylist has been told she does not have long left with her partner of 14 years and her two-year-old daughter, Myla. Steven told the MEN: “She was misdiagnosed - the doctors thought it was sinusitis and she was prescribed medications for that.
