What is our biggest fear? To be told you will die and soon? There is no hope, nothing anyone can do? For my lovely Jess this became her reality. There was no time to fulfil a bucket list or even celebrate a last Christmas. 🧵1/3

The thing about being diagnosed with terminal cancer and being told you only have weeks left to live is that you are left with the unimaginable pain of having conversations you never planned for or conceived. This happened to my Jess, at 27. 🧵1/5

Please share so every GP in the country knows Jess’ story and feels supported to diagnose young people with cancer early enough. Thank you so much.
In February this year, Jessica Brady CEDAR Trust was proud to announce the launch of its first training module for GPs,
entitled Early Diagnosis of Cancer in Young Adults. This was devised by the RCGP with our support and funding. #cancer 🧵1/4

This photo of darling Jess makes my heart ache with longing and love in equal measure. It sums Jess up perfectly, her gentleness and adoration. I look at her protective arm circling her cousin, the hand held and head touching. You were an absolute beauty Jess - always. #grief #cancer

Go John!
This is John. Today he is running a marathon. Recently he inspired over 2000 children to run & they raised £3000 for us. The world need more Johns! If you’d like to raise money for Jess’ charity - jumping out of a plane, baking cakes, organising an event - anything - let us know.

This is my lovely daughter Jess. It was taken on Christmas Day 2019. It was to be her last Christmas. She died on the 20th December the following year. She contacted her GP practice on 20 occasions in 5 months, but it was assumed her red flag symptoms were not cancer. 🧵1/3

Jess was a member of her local youth theatre group, Hertford Dramatic and Operatic Society, from the age of 9 to 16. Her first production was as one of Fagin’s gang in the musical Oliver!. Seven years later, she played the title role in The Pied Piper. 1/2🧵

8 years since Jess took me to Krakow for my 50th birthday. She was only 23 and saved every penny to pay for the trip.
4 years without her now. Impossibly hard living on memories, but blessed by those memories. Trying so hard to ensure she is never forgotten. #JessLaw
