A mum-to-be was diagnosed with cancer at five months pregnant - when her extreme morning sickness turned out to be a symptom of the disease.
Caitlin McAlinden, 24, put her cancer symptoms - including a golf ball-sized lump on her neck, nausea and fatigue - down to morning sickness. But, after losing two stone in four months, she was referred to the haematology team at Arrowe Park Hospital. They gave her a neck biopsy and diagnosed her with stage one Hodgkin lymphoma in March 2024.
