She said she won't be celebrating Christmas this year and will instead spend it helping other people who need support
The mum of a young woman who died following a battle with bowel cancer has said the pain is 'too much to bear', just over a year on from the 24-year-old's death.
Amelia, from Norris Green in Liverpool, first went to the doctors with her partner in January 2020, to undergo fertility checks in the hope of starting a family together. After a series of scans the results found fluid on her fallopian tubes which she was told she needed keyhole surgery to remove at Liverpool Women's Hospital.
She was referred to Broadgreen Hospital for a scan and the results found she had cysts on her ovaries including endometrial cysts. But it wasn't until she had keyhole surgery on December 2, 2020 that doctors discovered she had cancer after taking a biopsy. More than a year on, Therese said: "It's like the front of my brain knows that it's happened, but the inside doesn't. I still don't believe my daughter is gone, it's too much to bear.The care worker is determined help raise awareness of bowel cancer in young people, and aims to set up a charity to reach out to younger people- continuing Amelia's legacy, as this was something very important to her.
