A mother-of-three is facing the possibility that she may not live another year, after her stomach stopped working and caused her weight to drop to just four stone.
Emilie Cullum had been perfectly healthy and physically active in the months before she was diagnosed with a rare gastric condition, with everything changing overnight after she threw up her breakfast cereal one morning in November 2024.
The illness has left her needing to be fed from a tube and has resulted in her suffering a pulmonary embolism and severe weight loss - with the life-changing treatment she requires unavailable on the NHS and costing £675 a day in private healthcare.
