Her mum asking, “What happened to your face?” Was such a light and touching moment on this serious and sad story.

Thank you to all NHS paramedics across the UK. I owe my life to them after suffering 2 cardiac arrests and 4 respiratory arrests due to COPD. You guys are true heroes. ❤
From the NWAS - SCAS and the other Ambulance Services. I just want to say words cannot express my gratitude to what you all face on a daily basis.

I’m going through the same thing at the moment and my heart goes out to her. My waist length hair, gone in a fortnight. The side effects are a nightmare…..and mental health is a big thing. So many people going through this…including me. We all just need to be kind ❤

My elderly relative has cancer currently and is going through treatment and any time we’ve had to call paramedics they’ve been nothing but amazing! Thank u to the NHS!

My mom passed away at that age so this hits home. I miss you everyday and it’s been 14 years.

Cancer is something that you don't embrace. Why would people say that. I've lost many loved ones and relatives to cancer. People should be supportive of her through her treatment and make her feel supportive

I so relate with Paula. Wishing you and your mom the best. From the emergency services perspective - we need to be there for each other, just as her partner was :)
