Scans showed Jeanette Carter had breast cancer which had spread to her lung. READ MORE:A 'fun' and 'loving' mum who would do anything for her children and grandchildren has been told she has less than two weeks to live.Mrs Carter, who worked with disabled people and adults with autism, showed no sign of the disease until she discovered a lump in her breast in January.
CT scans later that month revealed Ms Carter, 49 at the time, not only had cancer in her breast, but the disease had spread to her lung and stomach. In March, she had to be rushed to A&E where medics found the tumour had grown to such an extent it was pushing against her windpipe, causing fluid to dangerously collect around her lung
'Her final wish is for her loved ones to be with her when her time comes. We're not leaving her alone for a moment.Ms Carter added: 'Cancer is a brutal, random disease and can hit anyone from King Charles to celebrities and ordinary people like my mum.' Speaking at St Giles Hospice in Whittington, Staffordshire, her daughter Lea-Mai Carter , added: 'Mum knows she's dying and the worst thing is seeing her in so much pain and discomfort but having us by her side is helping her battle through'
It was then, the family say, that the consultant delivered the tragic news chemotherapy was unlikely to help and she had just two weeks left to live.They had hoped to celebrate her milestone 50th birthday on April 27 — the day before her actual birthday — with a party. It wasn't quite the celebration she had been planning, 'but at least she has made it to 50', Ms Carter said.
'Our only comfort is that we will be there to say goodbye, hold her hand and tell her how much we love and appreciate her.'
