Steph says her monthly visitor saved her life.
Steph Hammersley, 25,

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been cursed with bad period pains. I’d hold hot-water bottles to my tummy, take tablets, have hot baths…
Nothing seemed to work.
I went back and forth to see my GP, but was told I was just one of the unlucky ones.
Then in June 2015, the cramps intensified.
The next month, they were so bad that I was admitted to Leighton Hospital.
Doctors suspected appendicitis and ran tests including a chest scan.
‘We’ve found a tumour in your chest between your heart and lungs,’ a doctor explained.
The room span as I took in his words.
‘Is it cancer?’ I asked.
But they couldn’t be sure yet.
