Sarah McCann, 35, sadly died surrounded by her loving family this week after a battle with cervical cancer.
An inspirational young Scots mum who "lit up the room" has lost her battle with cancer after dedicating her life to helping others fight the disease. Sarah McCann, who was a lead advanced nurse practitioner for active oncology at the Beatson, sadly died surrounded by her loving family this week.
But the daunting diagnosis did not phase Sarah and she was determined to remain positive as she made drastic lifestyle changes. Speaking to the Record in June, Sarah told of her hopes to inspire others battling cancer by documenting her journey on Instagram. The mum to Marc, 10, and Emily, four, vowed to live life on her terms and not cancer's.
"People were really rooting for her and it is clear from the messages on her Instagram page how much of an impact she had on people who didn't even know her. Even they could see how inspiring and strong a person she was. She lit up the room and people instantly fell in love with her. Inseparable since, it was Amanda who Sarah asked to help her with her Instagram page @sadieican. Sarah told her she wanted to set up the page so anything she was going through could help to inspire others.
