Deborah Nabbs, 36, from Wolverhampton, suffered from choriocarinoma, an extremely rare form of cancer, which grows from the cells of the placenta.
It affects one in 50,000 pregnancies. Eight weeks after giving birth to her son Lewis in February last year (left), now 21 months (right) she began haemorrhaging blood clots 'the size of Easter eggs'. She was rushed to hospital for an operation, where doctors discovered the tumour on her placenta, and said the cancer had spread to her lungs.
After another operation and intense chemotherapy treatment (inset), she is now cancer free. Despite her ordeal, she says she wouldn't change having her son. She said: 'I know that if I hadn't of been pregnant with Lewis I wouldn't have had cancer but I'd go through it all again if it meant having him
