In 2018, Laura's heart stopped for 25 minutes due to complications from cancer treatment.
"My heart stopped for 25 minutes and my parents were called back to the hospital to find the nurses trying to manually restart my heart while simultaneously draining the fluid. They eventually restarted my heart with a defibrillator after 25 minutes of trying. It must have been so awful for my mum and dad to see that,”
Laura, from Batchley, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in October 2018 after suffering months of persistent coughing and weight loss.
After her near-death experience, Laura spent two weeks in a coma in January 2019. When she woke from the coma she had lost most of her memories, spoke only her native Hungarian, and had to learn to walk again.
Gradually Laura rebuilt her life, recovering most of her memories and learning to do everything again. In February 2019 she was put onto a different chemotherapy regime which was successful in shrinking her tumours.
In June 2019 Laura had a stem cell transplant to reboot her immune system. Scans since then have shown that the tumours in Laura’s chest have shrunk to a tiny size and are no longer active. She has been declared in remission and has just started a course in theatrical make-up at South and City College Birmingham.
