My daughter Michelle was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. Within less than 4 weeks she had passed away.
Michelle had no common symptoms of cancer and was only admitted to hospital because she had coughed up some blood.
After several tests over 2 days, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It was found to be in the liver, kidneys and lungs.
This has shocked us to the core. Michelle was just 43 years old and leaves behind a loving husband and two teenage children.
The family have received tremendous support from the end of life team in the Countess Mountbatten Hospice in Southampton and we can't thank them enough.
We are currently fund raising for the hospice with this being the chosen charity at Michelle's funeral.
I have also registered for the Southampton Half Marathon and aim to raise £250+ in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
It is my way of saying thank you
