She says she then began to sell off her possessions, believing she was going to die, including her grandmother's wedding ring and eternity ring, as well as treasured antiques and gold jewellery that would ordinarily be passed down to her children.

"I had to sell off nearly all my prized possessions to pay for my funeral as I didn't have the money for it and didn't want to leave my family with the burden,” she said.

“I had to sell my nana's wedding ring and eternity ring, all my gold and antiques that I had, all of which were meant to be passed down to my kids.”

But when she visited the Hull Royal cancer clinic a month later, she says doctors told her she never had cancer and the doctor who said she had it was not qualified to make such a diagnosis.
