A mother who was "devastated" after being diagnosed with a rare tumour has vowed to never lose hope.

Julieanne Chambers, of Willow Way, Potters Bar, found out she had acromegaly, which causes tumours on the pituitary gland that affect the body's hormone levels, in March 2013. Before her diagnosis, the 42-year-old had ten years of puzzling symptoms - during which she noticed her hands, feet and jaw were growing and began experiencing hot flushes.
