My mum "BONNY" was 55 when she died 29.09.17 unexpectedly of untreated pneumonia. Although she had a incurable cancer we were pleased chemotherapy had worked to shrink the tumor on 2 occasions. And was starting radiotherapy 09.10.17

Despite being a inpatient for 7 days prior to her death and being treated for what we was told was a mild chest infection. She died in critical care 72 hours after being transferred from a oncology ward. doctors asked us to remove the non invasive ventilation and allow her heart to stop beating. Her lungs were to badly damaged making the option for full ventilation unsuitable.

After a whirlwind 14 days of questions and much needed answers a post mortem showed untreated pneumonia as cause as death.

Mum had been diagnosed with cancer twice .

1st in January 2013 diagnosis cancer of the throat and tongue. Treatment 12 hour surgery, neck resection flap and bone graft removal of parts of jaw and tongue. Temporary tracheotomy fitted for 10 weeks.

2nd in may 2017 after 10 months of fighting for tests to confirm 2nd cancer of the mouth. Diagnosis cancer of the base of tongue and voicebox. 2 treatments offered 1st full removal of the tongue and voicebox 2nd chemotherapy and radiotherapy both life changing treatments for a incurable cancer. But option 2 was the option both my mum and her consultant thought would be the best route, considering the pros and cons and radical life style and daily living changes of option 1.

Mum was a selfless warm loving woman she was humble and true who helped anyone she could.

She fought the hardest fight for the longest time. She spent her life fighting. Now her fights over.

Myself my brother and her 2 grandsons never wanted for anything when she was alive. so i would like to give her the best final goodbye possible. She ment the world to me and all whos lives she was apart of.

Please help me make my mums funeral all she so rightly deserves and more.

Thank you x
