Speaking to Belfast Live, Jennifer said she has been given 18-24 months to live.

A Co Antrim mum says she's not prepared to go anywhere after being given two years to live due to a devastating cancer diagnosis.

She told Belfast Live: "I've never really been sick but last but I used to have a pain in my lower back that would come and go. Last December it started to get really intense and I couldn't take the pain so I was back and forth to the doctors who said it could be a number of things. "I was diagnosed with stage 3 synovial sarcoma, which was 12 cm in size. I had been in pain for quite some time before my operation and my quality of life for the past year has been really bad. But never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be cancer. It was such a shock as I had been feeling so well after the surgery and more like myself again."

At the weekend, Jennifer's older sister Lisa McMullan started an online fundraiser in order to get her life-saving surgery and treatment. It has already raised over £7,000 since its launch on Saturday.
