Claire Cordiner has lost her mum and sister to deadly brain tumours with her nephew now on end-of-life care with the same condition in an outcome that 'defies belief'
A woman from Lanarkshire has spoken out about her family being decimated by deadly brain tumours in a harrowing situation that 'defies belief'.
Claire said: “I was really upset but Angie remained upbeat. She initially refused treatment because she was trying for a second child, but when she was unable to become pregnant she began chemotherapy and radiotherapy at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow.” “It was a difficult time because Angie was going through her own treatment, and I was also going through treatment for breast cancer.
Claire said: “I couldn’t believe it, especially because Max is so young. He was a healthy young man so it was totally unexpected. He had five weeks of chemotherapy and radiotherapy which was quite intense. “We occasionally hear of instances where siblings are diagnosed, but this is the first case of its kind we at the charity Brain Tumour Research have been made aware of.
