A mum of a five-year-old boy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer-just two years after the sudden death of her partner.

When Keelie Towler, 36, first noticed a lump in her breast, she thought it was nothing more serious than a blocked milk duct as the previous year, 2020, she had given birth to her baby boy, Rupert.

But with her partner Scott by her side, Keelie found out a week later it was breast cancer.

Treatment started immediately, with seven months of chemotherapy followed by surgery. This was followed by another 13 rounds of chemo and 15 sessions of radiotherapy.

Following her gruelling treatment plan and many setbacks, Keelie, from Wakefield, finally received good news-the cancer had responded.

Plans were made and Keelie and Scott bought a house, finally ready to start their lives as a family.
