A mum was given a shock breast cancer diagnosis in January.
How it Started
Jeanette Carter, who worked with disabled people and adults with autism, showed no sign of the disease until she discovered a lump in her breast in January.
CT scans later revealed that, not only she had cancer in her breast, but the disease had also spread to her lung and stomach.
She Was Rushed to A&E
Then, in March, she had to be rushed to A&E where medics found the tumour had grown to such an extent it was pushing against her windpipe, causing fluid to dangerously collect around her lung.
She Has Less Than 2 Weeks to Live
Due to the aggressive spread of the cancer, further treatment was cancelled and with her family told she had just two weeks left to live Mrs Carter was moved to an end-of-life hospice.
Her loved ones had hoped to celebrate her birthday on April 28 with a party. Instead, they have been left comforting her in her final moments.
What Husband Said
‘It’s been an absolute nightmare, the worst nightmare I’ve ever been through and it has turned our entire life upside down,’ husband Darren said.
‘She’s at end of life care and her medication has been upped, she’s in a lot of pain and is hallucinating and she is struggling to talk.
He continued ‘It is a dreadful disease, the worst anybody can have, but she knows we are here and it helps calm her because she is so scared.’
