In the aftermath, midwives discovered a polyp on her cervix.<\/p>\n Ten days later they were told it was cervical cancer and soon after Ms Johnston was told it had spread to her bone marrow.<\/p>\n As a result, Ms Johnston began chemotherapy soon after giving birth, a treatment which meant she was unable to have her daughter by her side.<\/p>\n Furthermore, due to the severe nature of her condition, testing to find out where the cancer\u00a0had come from had to be abandoned to maximise the chemotherapy.<\/p>\n Following her death, tributes have poured in from friends and loved ones.
