My story

 

Allen Hughes had a rare and highly aggressive form of cancer called Adult T-cell Leukaemia. Despite the fact he knew the disease was a potential killer, he never once moaned about his situation and continued to live his life to the full. Allen was a wonderfully warm and charming person with a wicked sense of humour - one of life's great spirits.

 All other treatment having failed, a stem cell donor was found in America and Allen underwent a transplant in December. Early signs were good but in recent weeks Allen's condition deteriorated and he became reliant on life support.

 On Friday, March 8th a bone marrow test showed that the cancer had returned. Medical treatment keeping his vital organs functioning was withdrawn on Sunday and he passed away peacefully at 3.10pm.

He would want you to be happy and not sad so take a peek at a video he made while he was going through his chemotherapy  @ www.cancerblog.co.uk
