24-year-old Meadhbh Cameron was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer last year
A Glasgow paramedic who passed away from cancer at the age of just 24 was able to marry the love of her life before her death.
He explained: “She told me she had coughed up a blood clot while in hospital with a patient and that an X-ray had revealed a shadow in her left lung. This was totally out of the blue, as she had no other symptoms, other than an intermittent cough at night.” Meadhbh received three rounds of chemotherapy, but was hospitalised each time with neutropenia, a condition which results in a low number of white blood cells called neutrophils in your blood.
“In the end cancer robbed Meadhbh of everything but her compassion, humour and mental strength. Meadhbh was an incredibly caring and compassionate soul who had an outstanding passion for life. Her smile could brighten even the darkest of days and she was the life and soul of the party. Those traits are what made her an exceptional paramedic, a job that she absolutely loved. It gives me great honour in being able to call her my wife.
