A Leeds man stuck by his partner during her “frightening” five-year cancer journey after only dating her for a month.
“On many occasions, she said to me ‘You need to get away, this is not going to be easy’. I loved her and I promised her I would stick to her throughout, right to the end. I told her I was not going anywhere.” 'Fearless' The couple, based in Osmondthorpe, made a mission of using their borrowed time to make memories. They went on holidays together, paragliding in Cyprus and rollercoasters in Skegness – two experiences “fearless” Emily had to drag Andrew along to.
Emily’s middle-child Josh said: “He’s been like an angel to my mum. He’s probably one of the reasons she kept going for so long, to be honest. I see him as a second dad now.”
