Mum-of-two rushed home from Egypt after desperate phone call to relatives
manchestereveningnews.co.ukIn six short months, Louise Sullivan's life has been turned upside down. The mum-of-two, who lives in Egypt with her husband and children Aloha, 12, and Malu, 9, went into hospital for an appendicitis operation in April 2023.
What should have been a routine surgery revealed a cancerous tumour in her bowel. Surgeons removed the growth and advised her they had got all the cancer, but continued to monitor the 43-year-old's bloods and scans.

Louise was rushed back to hospital in Manchester after cancer was found in her liver, abdomen and pancreas.
