A mum forced to quit her job due to tiredness was left devastated after being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness

. Tracey Cook had kept in good health while working three jobs in 2008, but just a few years later had to leave the workforce and stay home due to exhaustion.

Then in February this year, the mum-of-three attended an appointment at Castle Hill Hospital where she learned that her illness was something much more sinister than originally thought. Tracey was diagnosed was Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease that scars lung tissue and causes severe shortness of breath.

"This disease causes my oxygen levels to drop, sometimes below 80 and I just can't do anything. I am too tired to do anything, it has ruined my life. The heartbroken woman said she had never heard of the illness before she was diagnosed with it, but understands this will change her life for the worse. Because of her own experience, she wants to now raise awareness for the illness as she believes many other people who may be living with mild symptoms could unknowingly have it.
