A mum who was told she only had 12 months to live has been able to see her daughter married and meet her first great grandchild two years on. Jacqui Armor first made an appointment with her GP after she started experiencing mild headaches.
After undergoing various tests, she was given the heartbreaking news that she was suffering from terminal brain cancer in August 2020. At the time of her diagnosis, doctors told Jacqui that she would have less than a year to live - but more than two years later, she is continuing to fight.
Defying the odds, she has managed to see her daughter Lisa Davison get married, turn 60 and even meet her great grandchild. Jacquie is now on end of life care, but has told her family that will 'die happy' and has managed to see everything she has wanted to over the years, Leeds Live reports.
Mum-of-six Lisa, from Cookridge, said: “We knew it was going to happen but because she’s been here for over two years we put it in the back of our minds and assumed she’s going to keep on going. It was a blow to hear of the end of life stage but she has done well.
“She was given 12 months to live which is why we rushed through with the wedding. Everything was a bit of a rush but she decided to hang on for over two years which is insane she seems to have smashed it.”
“She met her first grandchild, we never thought she would get to that,” Lisa added. “She got to see her 60th birthday. We didn't think she would get to it, she will go happy and she has made it clear she’s got everything we wanted to see.
“It’s been a gradual decline, she knew it was heading towards that. She still has a smile on her face, her brain is working but her body. Shes getting on with it, she smiles and pushes through.”
