Kirsten Mclean, 37, from Harthill, was found to be suffering from pneumonia when she was blue-lighted to hospital, but further scans diagnosed her with breast cancer.
Sarah said: "I just can't believe she's gone and she never even got the chance to see Charlotte turn one - it's just heartbreaking. But tragedy struck on the night of September 22 when Kirsten became breathless. Mark, her partner of 17 years, persuaded Kirsten to ring NHS 24 out of concern. After getting an out-of-hours appointment, she was blue-lighted to Wishaw General Hospital as her oxygen levels were only at 80%.
