A mum with terminal cancer has spoken of ‘horrendous’ delays ruining her holiday as she ran out of medicine to treat herself. Candice Donlan spent more than £2,500 on staying at a five star Nana Golden Beach resort in Crete with her husband Paul to take her mind off her cancer. She says the trip was ruined after a 43 hour flight delay home.
Candice told the M.E.N: "People were sleeping on the pavements outside the airport thinking it was only a short delay, but it definitely wasn't that. I told the staff that I needed to get back as a medical emergency case and I would have happily gone to anywhere in the UK, just get me on a plane. "At first we went back to the hotel we had been staying in but after one night and no flight we had to move again, which was making me feel very lethargic," she added. "I always hear people say being delayed is fine and you get more time to relax but I could have got an infection at any point without the medicine which is very serious.
"We spent the money on this to have some quality time together but now it's been completely ruined, and we don't know how much time I have left. It just felt like a waste of precious time. It was all so horrendous."
I take extra when I go away and use a cool bag for my medication having to much is better than running our always be prepared.
Always prepare to be delayed ffs ….
