A daughter has spoken of the 'gut-wrenching' moment her 'brave and resilient' mum was told she had incurable breast cancer at the age of just 33, admitting: "I thought she would be around forever".
Chloe Smith, now 26 and from Sandbach, was just 16 years old when her mum, Lucy found a lump in her breast and was subsequently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Lucy went on to complete chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, but soon after she was dealt another devastating blow.
A lump developed under her arm, near to her back, and a biopsy confirmed that the cancer had returned. Despite further chemotherapy sessions, this time the tumour doubled in size and spread back into her breast. Sadly, there was nothing more doctors could do for Lucy.
