Mother with 'incurable' cervical cancer breaks down into tears as her partner ...

An emotional video shows a mother with 'incurable' cervical cancer breaking down into tears as her partner proposes to her in hospital.

Ashley Meehan, 30, was given the devastating diagnosis after she claims her GP sent her home with painkillers for agonising pain in her bladder and legs.

The mother-of-four, from Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, had already beaten the disease and been declared cancer-free in December 2018.

But despite her history of cancer, it's claimed she wasn't referred for scans by her GP or A&E department where she visited twice earlier this year. 

Last month, after being given the devastating blow her cancer had returned, doctors said it was 'extremely unlikely she could be cured'.

Peter Potts, 39, proposed to Ms Meehan at her bedside this weekend by dressing their one-year-old daughter in a shirt reading, 'Mummy will you marry daddy'.

In the video posted to Facebook, Ms Meehan covered her face with her hands and wiped away tears before saying 'yes'. 

Ms Meehan, a former nursery teacher, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May 2018, according to the Daily Record. 

By December, after undergoing rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she was declared cancer-free.

A couple of months later, Ms Meehan found herself in unbearable pain and visited her GP in April.

She said the doctor at Clydebank Health Centre sent her home with painkillers, including morphine.

But when the pain became so intense she was struggling to walk, she went to the A&E unit at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
