A mother has revealed the heart-breaking moment she found out that her daughter had just weeks to live. Rosemary Wright's daughter and running partner Deb, 52, had developed earache and when a course of antibiotics didn't work a trip to A&E revealed the devastating diagnosis of oesophagus cancer.
The news was a complete shock, said 79-year-old Mrs Wright, of Chester Green, Derby. She said: “From her initial diagnosis, we had six weeks with Deb. It was such a shock as she was so fit and healthy. Every little goal she set herself was taken away. After she died, I was really angry, because she had had so much planned."
In a related tragedy, Mrs Wright's husband of 57 years, Ken, never recovered from their loss and died in January last year. Rosemary said: "He had a heart problem and went downhill after Deb died. He never really got over it and ended up not wanting to live, which was hard to take.
