67-year-old Kate’s diagnosis of myeloproliferative disease (MPN) took a long time due to the fact that her initial symptoms coincided with other health issues she was experiencing at the time.

With a newborn baby, it was hardly surprising that Elizabeth felt exhausted. But what she initially assumed to be a normal postpartum experience turned out to be something far more serious.

Beth was 18-years-old and had just started her first job, training to be a nurse. She thought her symptoms, especially her tiredness, were down to her busy schedule. But within a few months, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Eight years on and in remission, Beth shares her story…
Elizabeth was 27 when she first began noticing something wasn’t quite right. Over a 10 week span she had many appointments with the GP and many of her symptoms were attributed to something other than leukaemia. She shares her story from fighting for a diagnosis, to where she is now.
