Usually after a person miscarries the body naturally rids itself of these cells, but in other cases a cancerous tumour develops, which if not treated quickly enough can spread to other parts of the body. This condition is completely random. The cause of it is still not fully understood. Although rare, the frightening thing is it could happen to anyone and at any age – whether it be your first, second or third pregnancy.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: #1c1c1c; background: white; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>

They are pioneering for special technology that would allow them to diagnose, much sooner that currently possible, whether or not cells will remain benign or turn cancerous. The overall project will cost £2million but as with any form of cancer, time is of the essence. This would make the most enormous difference and hopefully enable any future patients to get back to ‘normal’ life far sooner. </span><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: #1c1c1c; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-US"> </span></em></strong></p>

My remaining cells from the miscarriage developed into a cancerous tumour and I had to go through 9 painfully traumatic months of intensive chemotherapy to beat this.
