The former teacher hopes her chance diagnosis will help others spot early signs of the disease
Helen Livingston said treatment has given her more time to spend with her husband and and wider familyA woman has described how she found she had incurable blood cancer only after being rushed to hospital with an injured hip.
The Nottinghamshire grandmother had attributed early signs something might be seriously wrong to the demands of her career as a teacher.Mrs Livingston, from East Leake, began to suffer tiredness and an aching hip in 2014 and when the pain became unbearable she had to go to accident and emergency. The Myeloma UK charity said early blood tests can identify the disease and potentially help prevent related complications like broken bones."The diagnosis was the hardest because it came out of the blue."I always say I'm glad my hip broke because it could have taken a long time before it got picked up otherwise. Being told it was incurable just freaks you out."She received a stem cell transplant in 2014 and has been in remission since and has regular health checks.
