Michaela Cotterill was given a day to live by her doctors after she was diagnosed with cancer of the placenta.
She was 34 weeks pregnant with her first child when she started coughing up blood and there was no hope for her because it was a rare cancer.
She miraculously survived after the birth of her baby and to the amazement of doctors, she is even running marathon presently, six years after.
Michaela said: “I was taken to the
cancer hospital in Sheffield and when Maesie was born they took her away
for two hours for tests. It was the longest two hours of my life. But
the results came back fine. And in time, I recovered.
“I lost my hair for six months. It was difficult, but I came through it.”
“When I found out I was pregnant last
year, I went for all the tests and everything was fine. The old worries
came back but
everything went so well.”
Choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare cancer, which is often diagnosed
following a molar pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion or ectopic
pregnancy, when any placental tissue left behind continues to grow
despite the absence of a foetus.
everything went so well.”
