Story

Our lives changed unimaginably at the end February this year, 2016.
Elizabeth, dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, godmother and friend, aged only 66 year old and still working hard was diagnosed with a Primary Brian Tumour Glioblastoma Multiforme stage 4 (GMB).

Elizabeth was a RGN nurse who spent the last 30 years focused on care of the elderly.  She absolutely knew what her diagnosis meant and her concern was only for those she loved.

On receiving her diagnosis, the seriousness of her illness was painfully obvious.   Elizabeth had as much of the tumour as possible removed by a team at St Georges Tooting, giving us valuable time and after some rest bite received a short course of radiotherapy, chemotherapy was not an option.

Elizabeth never, not once, complained about her prognosis.

After seven months she was finally at peace.  And those she left behind heartbroken but forever in awe of her strength and overwhelmed by the love shown by Family, Friends, and Colleagues near and far. 

We were supported throughout her illness by Macmillan. In particular the Midhurst Macmillan Specialist Palliative Care Service provided amazing assistance, guidance and support.
