Ms Coffey remembered first noticing symptoms and feeling not " quite myself" around This Time , But brushed it off as brain fog.

" I couldn't remember The Words for certain things. I can remember thinking… I can't remember what these thing are. It was slippers, and it still happens now. "
Ms Coffey admitted work had been a source of worry - Even in The First moments after surgery.
" Almost my first thought was, 'I Am going to have to resign as a minister'. I guess that just goes to show The kind of pressure I was feeling, " She Said .
She served in a few cabinet positions over The Past few years - including as health secretary under former Prime Minster Liz Truss - But resigned as environment secretary last month, and now " lives in The moment" and " grabs opportunities".
" I do value life more now than ever. I came close to dying, and I think Looking Back that if My Sister hadn't phoned St Thomas' [Hospital] and they hadn't done that scan, I probably would have been dead in a matter of days, " She Said .
