Honeymoon father dies from cancer following shock diagnosis

A father who complained of a "sore side" while on a dream honeymoon trip to Las Vegas and Mexico has died just two months after he was given a shock cancer diagnosis. Alan Fraser, from Glasgow, died on October 3, aged just 39.

The Daily Record reports that he had returned home from the holiday of a lifetime with wife Myra in July after the pair tied the knot in 2021 but had their honeymoon postponed due to Covid. Alan complained of having a sore side while relaxing in the pool in the USA. The pair thought it might have been a hernia - but never dreamed the dad-of-two was suffering from a cancerous tumour in his stomach.

Devastated Myra, 33, a carer, said: “It doesn’t seem real, it feels like he could just walk in the door. We came back from our honeymoon in July, and a week later he went to hospital with pain in his stomach. He never left hospital again.
