Emmy Collett diagnosed with Cancer after getting back with her childhood sweetheart

EXC: Emmy Collett, 30, who lives in Luckington, Wiltshire, got back together with her childhood childhood sweetheart Jake Coates, 31, last year, after 10 years of being apart (left, when they were 17 years old, and right, last Christmas). Months later, she was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer and Jake flew back from Sydney where she was living to be by her side. Within weeks, she was told her body was riddled with cancer and it was incurable - meaning she had just a 20 per cent chance of living for another five years. The pair began fertility treatment immediately so they could have a baby via a surrogate in future. Now, Emmy has started chemotherapy (right inset) and is hopeful for the future. Wanting to raise awareness to this deadly disease - and raise money for the Royal Marsden hospital where she was treated - she plans to cycle 1,200 miles from London to Copenhagen on a tandem (left inset) with Jake. And despite her bleak prognosis, she remains resolutely positive. She told MailOnline: 'I'm genuinely so happy Jake and I are back together - I forget I have cancer. Love truly is the best drug and I have been totally smothered in it.'

Last November she was rushed to hospital in pain (right) and scans revealed her liver was twice the size it should be - as a result of the sugary drinks. She developed two fibrous lumps - the size of a grape and a Satsuma - on her organ.

Emma Payton, 10, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was on holiday in Egypt when her mother Tracey noticed a lump the size of a marble on her cheek.
