A brave mum died from a cancer so rare that some of the nurses had never even heard of it.
Lesley Turner was just 40 when she died on July 22 last year, having been diagnosed with rare cancer angiosarcoma in November 2021 after finding a lump in her breast. The mum-of-one asked doctors not to tell her how much time she had left when doctors told her the cancer was 'incurable'.
Now her husband, Rob, is planning to honour her dying wish by raising money for the hospice that cared for her, reports YorkshireLive. During trips to Sheffield's Northern General and Weston Park hospitals, the couple realised the cancer was so rare that some of the nurses had never even heard of it.
