Tributes paid to South Shields mum-of-four who died 12 days after cancer diagnosis

Tributes have been paid to a devoted mum-of-four who tragically died just 12 days after being diagnosed with cancer.

Billie-Joe Graham had recently become a grandmother when she received the devastating news that she had terminal stomach cancer which had spread to her liver. She sadly passed away two days before she was due to begin treatment, aged 49.

The midwife, who continued working up until her passing, was yet to inform her friends and family of her diagnosis. Today her husband paid tribute to his wife, describing as "the most selfless person" who would go out of her way to help others.
