The parents of two boys have been given the devastating news that they both have terminal lung cancer. Mery Brooke-Smith was informed of the shattering news just five months after her husband Graham was diagnosed with the same condition.
Doctors have been left dumbfounded by the cruel twist of fate facing the non-smoking married couple who have both lived healthy lives. The parents, have been told they have around six months to live if they don’t receive treatment for their stage four lung cancer.
The couple from New Zealand, have started a crowdfunding page to help them pay for the treatment and remain hopeful it will give them a few more years with their two sons, aged nine and 11. Graham’s diagnosis came first, in January, after he visited the doctors with a back complaint. Numerous tests revealed that he had cancer which had spread to his spine.
