Nicola Rickards, 30, of Gloucester, was born without a womb due to Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser syndrome (MRKH). But she and her partner Matthew Cornock, 33, (pictured left and right) are desperate to start a family. Her consultant said her condition made the couple 'ideal candidates' for funding for IVF. But, because the couple would need a surrogate to help them realise their dream of parenthood, they have been denied funding for the fertility treatment by their local CCG. Miss Rickards, of Gloucester, says she is heartbroken that her lack of womb doesn't make her an exceptional case. She said: 'I didn't choose this, I was born with it. It feels as if I'm being punished for something I can't help.'
Tambu Makinzi, 27, from South Africa, was diagnosed with the rare bone cancer chondrosarcoma four years ago. It devoured her nasal and upper jaw bone, leaving her months from death.

Shock as 'right to die' for the terminally ill law is overwhelmingly defeated by MPs after highly-charged four-hour debate
In a highly-charged debate in Parliament, opponents warned the proposed law would amount to 'killing people being legal'. After four hours of clashes, the Assisted Dying Bill was thrown out by 330 voters to 118, a majority 212, effectively ending the debate for a generation. Outside parliament campaigners for both sides confronted each other, waving placards and shouting down their rivals.
He's been called a 'monster' and stared at by strangers - but little boy with severe cleft lip has just one response - he SMILES back
Zak Coates, nine, from Cyprus, was born with a severe cleft lip and no right eye lid, which caused him to go blind (left). He has since undergone nine different operations to rebuild his face. Over the years he has endured cruel taunts from bullies who branded him a 'monster', while strangers would stop and stare in the street. But throughout his life, the now nine-year-old, has had just one response to those taunts and stares - he turns and flashes a smile (right). His mother Joanne said: 'I'm so proud of how far Zak has come, he is such a huge inspiration and is full of confidence.'
Tanning addict who 'grilled herself like a sausage' in the sun has 2cm chunk of skin removed after doctors discover deadly mole
Ashley Alexander, 27, from Cumnock, Ayrshire, was so determined to achieve the perfect tan that she would lather her skin in baby oil and sunbathe for hours on end (pictured left, sunburnt, and right, with a tan). But in October last year, doctors discovered she had a mole on her back and she was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. Surgeons were forced to cut a chunk out of her skin, leaving her with a large scar running down her back - a painful reminder of her ordeal. She says having cancer made her rethink her 'cocky attitude' to sunbathing and she now wants to warn others of the dangers of overexposure to the sun. She said: 'I hope my story will inspire others to slap on the sun block whenever the sun is shining. A short-lived tan is not worth a lifetime of worry.'
Little boy who begged to die because of his horrific eczema has 'life-changing treatment' and can now walk and sleep
Morgan Bishop, five, from Tadworth, Surrey, begged his parents to 'let him die' on several occasions as the severe eczema he has been suffering since he was four months old causes him so much pain (pictured left). However, thanks to a remarkable form of water therapy at Avene, a renowned dermatology centre in Southern France, just weeks on from completing his first phase of treatment (pictured inset), Morgan is enjoying being a typical five-year-old (pictured right). He is now playing with friends at school and even riding his treasured bicycle, which would have been unthinkable before. Morgan's mother, Dana, said the whole family is pleased with the treatment. She said: 'Avene is not a miracle cure and Morgan is only at the early stages of his treatment but it has given us something we haven't had before - hope that he can now be relieved of the worst of his pain and in time be a normal little boy.'

Devastated families share heartbreaking images of their stillborn babies that help them cope with their grief
The poignant yet haunting pictures were taken by the charity Remember my Baby - set up to offer a gift of baby remembrance to parents experiencing the devastating loss of their child. A team of volunteer photographers visit families across the UK who are going through the tragic loss of their baby either before, during or shortly after birth. The families get a gift of high-resolution so they have a life-long keepsake of their beloved babies. All of RMB's photographers are professional, but give their time up to volunteer for the charity alongside their day jobs. RMB co-founder and volunteer Cheryl Johnson said: 'It's so important for parents to have a memento of their baby.
'It's what keeps them going - they don't get to take their baby home, so it's all they've got left. 'When you walk in the door and look at the parents' faces, you do get a lump in your throat. 'People say to me "oh my God, why on earth would you want to take a picture of a dead baby"? 'It's not for everyone, but when you hear the positive responses from the parents you help, you know it's the right thing.' Luke Farnham's son Zachary (pictured) was stillborn in February.
'This is what a tiny pill can do to you': Teenager who was left in a wheelchair with slurred speech after an ecstasy tablet put her in a coma releases video of how her life has changed
Amy Thomson's life was altered beyond recognition after she collapsed at an 'ecstasy party' in June at a house in Glasgow. The 16-year-old (pictured right before the incident) was in a critical condition and spent weeks fighting for her life at Glasgow South hospital. Her family has now released a video which shows how far the schoolgirl has come since waking up for a coma - but also the devastating effect that the 'tiny pill' had on her brain and body. The footage, which her cousin described as an 'eye-opener', shows Amy sat in a garden in her wheelchair, before slurring the words: 'Thank you, thank you everyone.' She also lifts her hand and gives the camera a slow wave (pictured left). Despite the drug damaging the young girl's brain and body, Amy's family believe that, with the continued help of medics, she can continue to make progress.

Mother who kept her phone in her bra every day for 10 YEARS is convinced it caused her terminal breast cancer
Wendy Holt, 51, from Bracknell, Berkshire, used to keep her phone in her bra when she went out so it would be within easy reach. However she now believes radiation from her phone was to blame for her breast cancer diagnosis in 2012, as she had no family history of the disease (she is pictured, right, during treatment). Despite no longer storing her phone in this way - and getting the all clear of cancer - the disease returned in her lungs and lymph nodes earlier this year (pictured inset). Her terminal diagnosis means it's unlikely she will reach her 53rd birthday (she is pictured, left, at a hen do, aged 51). She said: 'I will obviously never be able to prove it, and I know there's a lot of debate around the issue, but I firmly believe the phone radiation is to blame for my cancer. I got my first phone in around 1990 and I was quite big-busted, so I would store it down there and nobody would be able to tell. It was pressed against my skin for probably 70 per cent of the day for about ten years - and I didn't give it a thought. I want to speak out to make other people stop the habit. People might disagree with my theory, but it's my belief and I don't want this to happen to anyone else.'
Amnesia patient who wakes up EVERY day thinking it is October 15, 2014 is stripped of her benefits and deemed fit to work despite having NO memory
Nikki Pegram (pictured left) smashed her head (pictured right) against a metal pole on October 15 last year following a knee appointment at Kettering Hospital . Ever since, the young mother, from Northamptonshire, can't create new memories and has to read her life story every morning. She describes herself as being a 'real life Drew Barrymore in 50 First Dates', where the protagonist suffers from amnesia.
Despite having no memory at all, she is still expected to work by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) - who insist that because she can walk in a straight line and talk she is therefore fit for work.
Cancer that doctors can mistake for a minor bug: Polly got antibiotics - but needed a stem cell transplant
Polly Demetriou, 29, from Grays, Essex, knew that, one day, the heavy stab vest she put on before every shift as a policewoman might save her life - and it did, but in a way she could never have imagined. In May 2011, Polly was applying fake tan when she noticed a pea-sized lump just under her left collarbone. She is pictured in hospital, right, and during treatment, inset right.

'The last time I went on a date, I passed out': Woman who suddenly faints claims it's stopping her finding love - and food and laughter make her illness WORSE
Maggie Saunders, 31, from Falmouth, Cornwall, began fainting as a child, but doctors put it down to puberty. Then, at the age of 19, after she she was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope (VVS), a condition which causes the heart rate to slow, the brain to be starved of oxygen and the person to pass out. She claims the condition can be triggered by laughing too hard or eating foods like potatoes, pasta, eggs and fizzy drinks. She also suffers from an unrelated heart problem, a third degree heart block, a serious condition in which the electrical impulses are not transmitted through the heart, causing it to stop beating, which could be the cause of her fainting. She is due to be fitted with a pacemaker next month to regulate her heartbeat. She says the condition is stopping her from travelling the world and finding love. She says: 'VVS causes a lot of problems when it comes to relationships. Knowing that someone new might see you faint is horrible. If you are going to date someone, they will almost certainly want to take you out for a meal. But if I laugh too much or eat stodgy food, I just pass out.'

The brutal disease that has robbed this mother of her sex life: Rita has battled cancer of the vulva FIVE times - forcing surgeons to remove even her clitoris
EXCLUSIVE: Rita Hunter, 60, from Liverpool, left and right with her husband Charlie on their wedding day, was first diagnosed with aggressive vulval cancer at the age of 52. Over the next eight years she battled the disease four more times, before getting the all-clear. Mrs Hunter, who is mother to James, now 24, pictured with his parents top centre, had been terrified of developing cancer after her mother Winifred and sister Pauline, bottom centre, died from cervical cancer at 54 and 34 respectively. Mrs Hunter said: 'I want to raise awareness of vulval cancer. Please don't ignore changes in your vulva, pain or rashes nearby.'
The mother-of-two you will NEVER believe is 51! Chef who looks decades younger says she is proof of the age-defying effects of eating food packed with spices
Chef Anjula Devi (pictured), 51, from west London, believes that the secret to her amazingly youthful looks lies in her traditional Indian diet filled with herbs and spices such as turmeric, cumin and chillies. She says British 'curries' bear little resemblance to authentic Indian cooking, which is based on fresh vegetables and greens without any artificial colours. The cookery school founder said: 'The biggest sign that these spices keep you young is that I'm living proof of it - although I hate saying it!'
The jab that could save YOUR teenager from the terrifying disease that stole mine in just 12 hours: After brutal meningitis strain kills her son, grieving mother backs new vaccination drive

Newlywed, 25, dies from cervical cancer after visiting her GP TEN times - and being told her stomach cramps were due to a urine infection or bowel problems
Emma Fisk, from Selby, Yorkshire, suspected something was wrong - but was initially told by medics she was suffering from a water infection, or had a 'little tear'. By the time she eventually persuaded medics to test her, in April 2014, she was suffering from an advanced stage neuroendocrine carcinoma - a rare type of cancer. Her boyfriend of eight years, Dan Fisk, 28, proposed shortly after her diagnosis, last June - but in December 2014, she was told she had just six months left to live. She died in June, just months after the couple from Selby, North Yorkshire, had married. One problem is that neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix is not the same as cervical cancer as most people know it. Medical literature emphasises that a smear test, which detects pre-cancerous cells, is unlikely to detect the type of cancer Mrs Fisk suffered from. Her devastated mother said; 'She was fit and healthy and slim - she didn't smoke or take drugs or drink. She was the model daughter. She loved everyone and they loved her. She was such a beautiful person inside and out and we are so lost without her.'
'My scars make me proud of what my body's beaten': Breast cancer survivor, 39, poses topless after double mastectomy to show 'it's nothing to be ashamed of'
Alison Hawkes, 39, from Dagenham, east London posted this photograph on her Facebook page to show breast cancer patients that scars are nothing to be ashamed of. She was diagnosed with the disease after finding a lump in her right breast in May 2012. After six rounds of chemotherapy (inset) and having her right breast removed, Mrs Hawkes decided to have her left breast removed to prevent the disease returning. She said: 'It was a no brainer. I didn't even consider the aesthetic side of things. All I could think was that there was no way I was going through this again - not if I could help it... I wanted to show everyone that scars aren't the end of the world. I'm proud of what my body has beaten.'
