The Swansea siblings wanted to do something to thank the people helping her and went on to raise £3,000 for two specialist services at Singleton Hospital.

Single mum Meinir Morgan, from Birchgrove, was on a Florida holiday with her four boys last year when she discovered a lump in her breast.

She said: “After we came home, I went to my GP and within two days I was seen in the Breast Care Unit at Singleton. They told me they were 95% certain it was breast cancer.

“During November, I went through a lot of tests and scans, and then I was formally diagnosed with HER2+ cancer. I waited until I had my treatment plan the week before Christmas to tell the boys.

“Having a plan meant I could lay out exactly what was coming rather than just tell them about the bad news in November with no plans or dates for anything that was happening. It was the worst day of my life.
