WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES Louise Brent’s disease has been dubbed harder to control that cancer by doctors
Mother with disease ‘harder to control than cancer’ which could see her bleed to death through scars on her face seeks help after UK medics said there was nothing they could do
A woman who could bleed to death through her face due to a rare disease is seeking lifesaving treatment.
Mum-of-two Louise Brent has horrific facial scars from facial arterial venous malformation (AVM) – an abnormality of veins and capillaries – which has almost killed her twice.
A doctor has described her condition as “harder to control than cancer”.
It could ultimately lead to her bleeding to death.
But after British surgeons told her there was nothing more they could do, Mrs Brent, of Seaton Ross, Hull, East Yorkshire, travelled to the US where she underwent major surgery.
But after spending more than £100,000 her money is now running out.
