Chapter 3

Amy went to an appointment at Weston Park on 12th February 2015, where she was told that her tumours had now reached the stage where they were behaving so aggressively that there was no more treatment available. The priority for the doctors was now to keep her as comfortable as possible.

Obviously this wasn’t the news anyone wanted, and Amy was determined to continue her fight, and we requested an appointment with specialists in London at the The Royal Marsden Hospital; on the 9th March we travelled down. But they confirmed what the Sheffield doctors had said.

Amy’s health deteriorated almost immediately after the appointment. Amy’s favourite quote throughout her battle was-

“Hope is stronger than fear”

And I believe taking away her last hope, of the specialists in London having more treatment, that lead to the end of her brave fight.

On Thursday 19th March 2015, in Weston Park Hospital, Sheffield, Amy peacefully took her last breath whilst she was sleeping.
