New mum, 28, battling Covid & sepsis told she's got cancer weeks after birth

The new mum had to go into isolation with her baby, leaving her terrified she'd pass it on.

The 28-year-old said: "It was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life. I had no one with me. No visitors. No one around to help me with my baby."I didn't believe it at first. I never even considered that it could be cancer. I wasn't prepared to hear bad news because I was so adamant that it wasn't."

She now has to put her final year of nursing placement on hold, as it will clash with the chemo treatment. Keisha also won't be able to graduate this year or start the job she had lined up on a vascular ward. She is having her eggs frozen before the treatment, with the hope she will be able to have more kids in the future.Credit: MEN MediaI lost my legs and fingers to a flesh-eating bug after developing sepsisIt is not contagious and cannot be passed from person to person.
