Shock for brave cancer mum Maggie

“My body went into shutdown because of the lack of sleep,” she said yesterday.

The steroids the brave mother-of-six has been taking to counteract the cancer that is now in her brain were making her hyperactive and unable to rest. A 10 hour induced sleep put her back on her feet

She is heading back to Germany this weekend for more cutting edge hyperthermia treatment. Generous Herald&Post readers have been helping fund it because Maggie and her husband David have already spent their life savings trying to prolong what little time she has left.

Maggie said: “The most incredible part of all of this is that I have no fear. I have a feeling of complete trust and peace. It is not denial. I am very aware of my medical situation. I am full of so much hope and love that I am bursting with a passion for life.”

She’s keeping her fingers crossed that she’ll be home for Christmas with the family she adores.
