A mum whose teenage daughter died suddenly says it is "unbearable" to think she might lose her son too - after he was diagnosed with an "incurable" brain tumour. Madeline Siddall was just 15 when she suffered a sudden, fatal cardiac arrest - a death Anne Siddall, 55, is still coming to terms with.
And the mum was dealt a further devastating blow when son Archie Siddall, 24, was told he had a glioblastoma (GBM) in October last year. The young dad has had radiotherapy and chemotherapy and his family, from Eckington, Derbyshire, is taking each day as it comes.
Anne, a teacher, said: "It’s unbearable to think of losing another child. If I think about it too much, I go to a very dark place. We were told the tumour was incurable. We haven’t asked for a prognosis; we just didn’t want to go there.”
