Denise Welch opens up about losing her mum to cancer | Mouth Cancer | Cancer Research UK
Denise Welch talks candidly about the painful moment her mum died of mouth cancer. Denise’s beloved mum Annie, who she describes as being ‘the life and soul’ and ‘the strongest woman’, died in 2012 after being diagnosed with mouth cancer over 20 years before.
When she was first diagnosed in 1991, Annie was told she could have just 12 months to live. She underwent successful 13-hour long surgery to remove the tumours and was doing well for 10 years. In 2001 however, she received a second mouth cancer diagnosis when her doctors found new tumours at a regular check-up.
Denise and her family know all too well how important research is, as it gave them more time with Annie. But research costs money, and to fund it, we need support and donations from the public. That’s why Denise is calling on people to opt in to hear from us about our life-saving work.
