'They explained to me before the scan that they would leave the room to discuss the findings'
A woman who was told she would never have children after a valiant cancer battle went on to bring two "miracle" twins into the world.
She underwent brain surgery to remove the tumour on September 27, 2006, two days before her 19th birthday. During this procedure, a glioblastoma was discovered - an aggressive form of brain cancer with an average life expectancy of 14 to 16 months. The disease left Hannah with a miniscule 1% chance of survival after 10 years - but 17 years later, the 36-year-old mum is still going strong.Read more: 'My headache was so bad I had to pull over in the Peak District...
She said: “Although when growing up all I wanted was to be a mum; being told at 19 I couldn’t get pregnant naturally was not my priority - beating this horrible cancer was. But as I grew a little older, and the cancer was at bay, being a mum was at the forefront of my mind again." She says: “I remember the scan well. There was a trained midwife that was practising scanning and a consultant training her. They explained to me before the scan that they would leave the room to discuss the findings and then come and tell us the results. Looking at the screen and at each other, we feared the worst. I was not supposed to get pregnant, so a happy scan was not expected.
