Sam Foley's 'whole world came crashing down' when his mother Miranda passed away aged 56
A heartbroken son has described the devastation of losing his mum who thought she was suffering with "trapped wind" and "bloating" but was actually dying of ovarian cancer.
However, Miranda's condition spread and deteriorated after a lengthy journey with the illness and she died, leaving her family devastated. Ovarian cancer typically affects women aged 75 and over – but Sam now wants to remind people it can target anyone, despite how "unfair" it feels. Miranda continued to work as a nursery teacher after her diagnosis, even continuing as a childminder when the cancer worsened. She had been healthy with no serious issues until she experienced bloating in the summer of 2018. This was a symptom of ovarian cancer, the sixth most common cause of cancer death in females in the UK. Statistics published by Cancer Research UK show it kills around 2,000 women each year, reports the Mirror.
"Even when she was ill, she would always put others first and put them as the priority, which was such a good thing even though anyone with illness must put themselves first at some points. She wasn't like that though and that was such a quality. She was actually diagnosed one day before her birthday. I remember she was ill, and I thought 'maybe it is one of those things, everyone gets ill sometimes' but maybe I was naïve as I was young.
"I think men, particularly, struggle to express their emotions. I think men like to bottle things up. I still, to do this day, do the same thing and it's not good. I think dad and I are similar like that and it's probably not uncommon. It hit him very hard," Sam, who has no children himself, continued.
