Life for Sinead Tinker (played by Katie McGlynn) finally looks to be on the up, as next week she will complete her last round of chemotherapy treatment in her battle against cervical cancer.
The young mum’s cancer journey has been a long and painful one, with the mechanist initially keeping her diagnosis a secret from her partner, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
She discovered she had the disease while she was pregnant with their first child and later shunned doctors advice to undergo treatment out of fear she would harm her unborn child.
Instead, she used alternative therapies but when cancer spread she decided to start her chemotherapy sessions again.
However, doctors told her she would have to deliver her baby before undergoing treatment, so baby Bertie was born prematurely.
The tot has since returned home with Sinead and she now has the end of her treatment in sight.
In next week’s Coronation Street, she will be beside herself about the last course and confess to her husband Daniel that she has no idea what she will do if the treatment does not work.
The new mum is due to stay overnight in hospital, therefore she packs her bags and prepares for the final session.
She will admit she does not believe she is strong enough to go through chemotherapy again, but Daniel vows to wait for her when she returns home.
A proud Daniel will watch as an emotional Sinead
