A Scots mum who bravely battled a stem cell transplant has announced her own death with a moving Facebook post. Judith Green, from West Lothian, was diagnosed with myeloma - a form of blood cancer which normally affects men over the age of 60 - in April 2019.
The mum-of-two had been suffering from a 'sciatica' pain on various occasions over the last 10 years but medics dismissed it as being a trapped nerve, which would sort itself out. Judith and husband Steven were floored when she was eventually given her cancer diagnosis but she vowed to continue fighting so she could ‘meet her future grandchildren’.
The 44-year-old underwent a stem cell transplant with her own cells the following year but was heartbroken when medics revealed the cancer had returned just seven months later. Despite her gruelling health battle, Judith, a former waitress, campaigned tirelessly to recruit new bone marrow donors in a bid to help others receive a transplant.
