Anyone see last nights programme? I don’t really watch programmes such as the British Bake Off but I caught last nights and it really got me.
In between the celebrities baking their culinary disasters, it featured the story of Eve who was a young girl who died aged 11 last year. I think she was diagnosed in 2015.
I must say her particular story really hit me. Of course all cancer stories are incredibly sad but this one really will stay with me.
Seeing photos of her as a happy young girl then seeing her decline was awful. There was a scene which showed her laying on a hospital bed with her consultant telling her that her treatment wasn’t working and that they would have to look at another. I think the consultant probably knew there was little chance of her survival at that point. But seeing the expression on her face and the fact she was in so much pain was truly awful. She had cancer through out her body.
I suppose it just goes to show how unimportant some things in life really are and that stories like this really do put things into perspective. I hope the family somehow find peace, she had two older sisters who were a real credit to the family.
