Paramedic, 24, who never smoked died weeks after lung cancer diagnosis

A young paramedic died from a rare form of lung cancer - despite not even smoking. Meadhbh Cameron, 24, died on March 11, after being told two days before Christmas that she had weeks to live.

She married police officer Lee Cameron shortly before her death - the day after his 27th birthday. Meadhbh first noticed something was wrong in September when she coughed up a blood clot while in hospital as part of her job.

She had an intermittent nighttime cough but no other symptoms, but a scan revealed a shadow on her lung. Four weeks later, Meadhbh was told she had stage 4 combined small cell lung cancer, an extremely aggressive and rare form of cancer, not typically seen in a young, non-smoker in good health.
