WHEN professional singer Sharon Gould first felt unwell it was hard to know what was wrong.
She felt very tired, had little appetite and a persistent cough, which her doctor tried treating with inhalers and antibiotics.
As the weeks went by the 43-year-old mother from Fife felt little better and by May 2011 she sensed something was really wrong. Her abdomen was swollen. Her GP diagnosed constipation and gave her medication, which Ms Gould says did not help.
