Mum with 'months to live' struggling to afford funeral and final gift to kids

A mum with 'months to live' has began planning her own funeral to take the pressure off her husband and children when she's gone. Tiffany Ryan was suddenly diagnosed with stage-2 breast cancer in April last year, after a visit to the doctors about an itch on her collar bone turned out to be much more serious.

Following a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Tiffany hoped that she was cured of the disease, but in January, medics broke the news that the cancer had spread. The 37-year-old was given a life expectancy of three months and had beaten the odds, but sadly it is incurable.

Tiffany, from Clapham, West Sussex, says she doesn't want to burden her doting husband Matt, 39, with having to plan the details of her funeral when she passes.
