A woman has detailed how having too many drinks on a night out revealed a bizarre cancer symptom that led to her getting it checked out.

Jade Collett, now 32, began experiencing strange symptoms in her right foot during a boozy sesh with her pals when she was 22.

Her foot had turned slightly outwards and gone completely numb, which led to her having to be dragged home because of the intense pain.

Jade's friends were of the assumption this was a drunken incident, but the mum-of-one's concerns grew after the symptoms didn't ease up the next day.

"I was on a night out with my friends then all of a sudden my foot started to turn outwards a little bit," she said.

"I had hip dysplasia during my pregnancy so thought it was something to do with that or I'd twinged a nerve.

"Everyone thought it was a pinched nerve. It didn't cross my mind that it could be something sinister."

After paying her GP a visit, Jade, from Worcestershire, UK, was sent for an MRI scan, where it was revealed she had a brain tumour.

Jade said: "I just froze. I didn't even talk or cry. I was just sitting in the car silent thinking what is going on?

"I remember balling my eyes out crying saying 'I'm going to die'. Grace wasn't even one yet.

"They told me the fact my foot turned outwards was really lucky because not that many people get that symptom. And I didn't have any other symptoms."

A subsequent biopsy revealed that Jade had Grade 4 Glioblastoma - the most aggressive from of brain cancer.

She has undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy in recent years, but continues to defy the odds after doctors' two-year prognosis.

Jade's foot still has a bend in it, while it also remains numb.

She added: "I found it hard going past the second year because I felt like I was waiting around to die. I felt like I couldn't plan ahead and was in limbo.

"I've got a will and had a whole funeral planned, it's all ready. I never thought I'd have to plan my own funeral at 22.

"But I've always wanted to keep going for Grace. I feel so lucky and just thought I'm going to carry on with my life.

"Since having my treatment nine years ago, I haven't had any more treatment and I'm still here.

"Doctors have no idea what's going on and they've called me a miracle. They have no answers and are gobsmacked I'm still here and so healthy."
