Glasgow mum terminally ill at Celtic Convention in Las Vegas after cancer shock

A Glasgow mum 'does not have long to live' after falling ill at the Celtic Convention in Las Vegas. Ellen Cassidy was on holiday with friends for 10 days to attend the massive Hoops rally.

The 54-year-old from Springburn started suffering from extreme fatigue and pain near her kidneys around six days into the trip. Celtic superfan Ellen was rushed to nearby Sunrise Hospital and Medical Centre last Thursday.

Medics carried out a scan which found cancer in her gallbladder and she endured an emergency op to remove the organ, reports the Daily Record. But during surgery, doctors found the cancer had already spread to Ellen’s lungs, kidneys and liver.
