In November 2015, Demi Wright was hospitalized after experiencing pain in her side. Doctors admitted the 22-year-old from Colchester, England, to the maternity ward after tests found elevated levels of HGC (human chorionic gonadotropin) -- a hormone emitted during pregnancy -- according to local reports.
But after an ultrasound found no trace of pregnancy, further tests revealed devastating news: Wright had a tumor in her liver, and the cancer had spread all over her body. By the time it was caught, her condition was terminal.
