She was told to go to A&E where she had a chest x-ray.<br/><br/>At 32 weeks, doctors discovered a 12cm tumour in Zoe's chest, but were unable to discover whether it was cancerous or not until she gave birth. <br/><br/>Her daughter, Ophelia, one, was born at 37 weeks on October 4, 2022, and in December 2022, Zoe underwent a biopsy which revealed she had lymphoma -a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. <br/><br/>Zoe had no cancer symptoms - which she believes was masked by pregnancy - but after Ophelia was born she lost a stone, started having night sweats and itchy skin.<br/><br/>Zoe has undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy but both have not worked and she is in limbo while doctors decide next steps.

_hair-must-dos-for-spring.webp "As we embrace the sunny days ahead this spring, not only do we need to protect our skin with sunscreen, but we also need to protect our hair from the UV rays - especially for those of us that have color treated hair. The sun's UV rays can really cause the color to fade, so in order to help prevent that try adding the new Herbal Essences Pure Grapeseed Color Nurture Shampoo and Conditioner into your every day spring hair care routine. Grapeseed extract is nature's secret color keeper, rich in protective antioxidants, which help prevent UV induced color fade. Both the shampoo and conditioner are made with grapeseeds that are a byproduct from the wine making process in the sun-drenched vineyards of France and each bottle contains the seeds of up to 86 grapes. They deliver up to four more weeks of truly vibrant, protected color while leaving hair cleansed, healthy and smooth. It's powered by nature, the other star ingredients are camellia oil and pure aloe, to help give you deep nourishment but without the weigh down, so your hair feels surprisingly lightweight. The best part, they sell for just $9.99 each. You can find them at all major retailers. Herbal Essences Grapeseed joins 11 new collections for the brand, including apricot oil for curly hair, hemp oil for frizz, honey for moisture, and a ton more.")
