The wife of a man diagnosed with a rare form of cancer has told of her grief after he succumbed to the disease just five weeks after they married. Paul Brame’s world had been turned upside down when doctors revealed he had a cancer in his liver so advanced and aggressive it was inoperable and non-curable. He and his wife Niah, 26, from Chelmsford, Essex, were told their only hope was palliative chemotherapy which could have halted or slowed the cancer’s growth.
However as matters worsened further and the tumour failed to shrink, the couple decided to marry before the illness overcame the 35-year-old shop manager.
They had tried to raise £30,000 to fund pioneering treatment not available on the NHS – and got to £27,000 – but Mr Brame died on Saturday following a rapid deterioration in his health.
