Former 'Coronation Street' star Liz Dawn, who played popular character Vera Duckworth in the soap, has thanked doctors for saving her life.
According to The Mirror the veteran actress was diagnosed with emphysema in 2004, but she thought that the symptoms were just asthma until she paid a visit to a clinic.
Opening a new clinic at the same hospital she said: "I only had a third of my lungs working when I first came here. I was in a bad way and I had pneumonia twice.
"I feel as if my life's begun, I've got my life back."
