Alex Caycho was told she had 'days to weeks left to live'
A 21-year-old student was told she had 'days to weeks left to live' after being given an 'almost impossible' cancer diagnosis.
Alex moved from Peru to Lancaster, where she went to university to study art and design in 2021. She first started suffering from pain last year. Alex said: "It just spiralled from there. In June I ended up in hospital with minor symptoms, I was vomiting, had a fever and anaemia. "It was terrifying, being stage three sounds so much nicer than stage four because stage four, well that is it. All the signs pointed to cancer but because this type of cancer is so rare in young people, the doctors were arguing with each other saying it wasn't possible for me to have it, yet here I am, facing a battle that no one should ever have to fight."
