A DAD has described living in a 'whirlwind' after watching the mother of his children battle terminal cancer.

Daniel Price from Woodley, Reading, has been caring for his fiancée Stacy Watkins after she was diagnosed with a very rare incurable tumour in her cervix in October last year.

The mum-of-two is now fighting stage 4 cancer and has had to stop taking her medication for Lupus, Fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis due to her rounds of chemotherapy.

Daniel has also been told he has a mass tumour at the top of his spine. On Tuesday, January 25 he will be in hospital to have the tumour removed.

On top of this, Daniel and Stacy's two children have suffered with heart conditions ever since they were born.

Their inspirational daughter Tia, 15, spent almost a year on life support after developing heart failure. Mum Stacy refused to leave her side in hospital whilst Tia underwent a heart transplant.

In 2012, she received the Chris Tarrant Pride of Reading award after representing Great Ormand Street in the Transplant Games.

Their son Hayden also had a pacemaker fitted at just six weeks old after he was born with congenital complete heart block.

The 18-year-old is hoping to study medicine at University to help other families like his.

A fundraiser has been set up in the hope of getting the best treatment for Stacy whilst she undergoes chemotherapy.

Daniel hopes the £90,000 will give Stacy the best chance of survival through private treatments which the NHS can't do.

He said: "What we're going through is unheard of.

"Today we've launched the fundraiser link with the help of Stacy's best friend Sarah Hill. You just can't contemplate what has happened. We have to take each day as it comes.

"I've had to stop work after I was having issues with my neck. After numerous treatments, things were just getting worse. Eventually after a year they agreed to an MRI, I was told I have a mass tumour at the top of my spine which is really risky to operate on. I've been out of work as I am not allowed to lift anything and I am Stacy's 24 hour too.

"This money will possibly help pay for these treatments for Stacy. They are lots of alternative options for treatment but consultations cost between £250 to £450. The treatment could cost £90,000."

Stacy has described what it has been like living with cancer.

She said: "Do you know what, being told you have cancer is hard. Being given a prognosis is harder. I've laughed, I've cried, I've stared at a wall for hours in silence. Nothing changed, I still have cancer.

"I am determined to hit this with as much force as it needs. I know I'm going to have bad days, of course I am, but that's normal. A positive attitude goes a long way and I am going to try my hardest to remain strong and positive through this whole process."
