Celtic Convention chiefs have spoken out after a Glasgow mum, who fell ill at the Las Vegas event, died on Thursday.
We told how Ellen Cassidy started suffering from extreme fatigue and pain near her kidneys while attending the convention in Nevada last week. The 54-year-old from Springburn was rushed to nearby Sunrise Hospital and Medical Centre last Thursday.
A scan found cancer in her gallbladder and she had an emergency op to remove the organ, reports the Daily Record. During surgery, doctors discovered the cancer had already spread to her lungs, kidneys and liver. They told her family, including son Kevin, that she did not have long to live.
