'Beautiful young woman' was 'taken too soon' after heartbreaking diagnosis

A mum who died at the age of 28 thought she had IBS before being told she had just 18 months to live.

Delilah Kenny, from Skelmersdale, thought she was suffering from IBS when she started experiencing stomach pain and bloating that wouldn't go away. The pain began to get worse between March and July 2021 and then the mum-of-one started to get pain in her back.

In July 2021 Delilah's symptoms started to get worse, with her vomiting at least once a week and 12 months later the young mum was told she had 18 months to live after being diagnosed with bowel cancer. Delilah died on New Year's Eve, just over a month after her wedding to her husband Mark, with her family, friends and colleagues now raising money in her name.
