The mother of a 24-year-old that passed away last year has told the Liverpool Echo of her intense grief a year on from her daughter's death. Amelia, 24, from Liverpool, died following a battle with stage 4 bowel cancer in October 2021.
She underwent fertility checks in January 2020, with hopes of starting a family with her partner. Following a series of scans fluid was found on her fallopian tubes, which required keyhole surgery, which was unfortunately put on hold at the start of the national lockdown in March 2020.
During the height of the pandemic Amelia began experiencing severe stomach pains and went to her GP, where she was referred to hospital for a scan, with results finding she had cysts on her ovaries. After at last undergoing the keyhole surgery on December 2 2020, doctors found out that she had cancer following a biopsy.
