Fiona Gallacher, 33, had been experiencing severe stomach pains for around two months before she was told she had stage four adenocarcinoma - a cancer that grows in the glands of vital organs - on January 8.
Days later, tests found she had advanced cancer and she was given six months to a year to live. She sadly passed away on March 22 - just weeks after her diagnosis. “At that point, we knew something wasn’t right, so she went to A&E. There was fluid filing her belly so she was sent for emergency surgery and they ended up removing her ovary and part of her bowels.“It was such a shock for us all, it didn’t feel real.”
