'I want people to be checked earlier – diagnosed earlier. I want people to live as long as possible. And above all, I want no-one to go through what my family has.' I ✍️ Maureen Dougall
‘I’ve not been feeling very well,’ Piers told me. ‘In fact, I’ve been back and forth to the GP since October.’
It was Christmas 2017 and we’d met up for lunch for a catch-up. I’d noticed he’d lost weight and looked a bit run down, but I’d just put that down to his busy lifestyle. Now, five years on, I look back at that conversation and I wish and pray and beg that I could do it all over again; that I could tell him to go and see another doctor immediately, to get a second opinion right then and there.
I think, in my heart of hearts, I knew it was serious but I was still devastated when, after finally being referred for a CAT scan, he was diagnosed with Stage 4I rushed to his side. ‘We’ll find a cure,’ I told him. ‘There’ll be a miracle.’But Piers looked at me seriously. ‘You have to know that I won’t be cured, the doctors were sure,’ he said firmly. ‘All I want is to stay alive for as long as possible for Katherine and the children.’His words devastated me, but I was so proud of his bravery.
