Мужчина с терминальной формой рака мозга спешит жениться перед свадьбой

Robbie Pollock was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma after being rushed to hospital. A young dad is in a race against time to marry his sweetheart after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. ‌ Robbie Pollock had suffered weeks of painful migraines which eventually led to a fall at his home in Paisley. ‌ The 30-year-old was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital by ambulance on February 22. ‌ The dad-of-three and fiancée Lauren, 42, were given the news that he had a grade 4 glioblastoma - an aggressive brain tumour - after a scan revealed a 5cm mass. Robbie has already undergone surgery and chemotherapy but doctors have warned the couple that his timeline is uncertain. ‌ Lauren said: "We got the diagnosis three weeks before I was due to give birth to our second daughter and it was the kind of news that puts you on your knees. "Robbie is doing well but the prognosis for glioblastoma is 12 to 18 months. "You have your life planned out in front of you and your world comes crashing down. It was devastating." ‌ The couple met through work at a recruitment agency six years ago. Since then they have had two daughters together - Piper, three, and Primrose, 13 months - with Robbie also acting as step-dad to Lauren's son Lyle, 10. Following his diagnosis, surgeons were able to remove 96 per cent of the tumour during a surgery at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. ‌ He is also receiving maintenance chemotherapy. The couple are now desperate to tie the knot in a ceremony at The Corinthian on December 28, surrounded by their loved ones. ‌ They are being supported by Pride of Scotland winners Wedding Wish Makers, a charity supporting people facing terminal illness. The charity has launched an urgent appeal to help make their day possible and ease the financial pressure. Lauren said: “Robbie proposed on August 7 at our home, our wee safe haven. It was very us and very lovely. ‌ “You take things for granted and then when something like this happens, it makes you revaluate everything and think about what’s important. “I keep telling people close to me don’t wait to do things. Do it now, because you don’t know how much time you have left. ‌ "We discovered Wedding Wish Makers last week and they have already helped find suppliers and raised thousands of pounds to make our big day possible. Wedding Wish Makers said: “This isn't simply about giving them a wedding. It’s about giving them a day of happiness, love and memories at a time when their lives have been turned upside down.” The family is also hoping to access private treatment abroad, with immunotherapy in Germany - estimated to cost around £200,000. ‌ A GoFundMe appeal has raised around £46,000 toward the mammoth target. ‌ Dad Robbie has continued to fight, retaining his speech and returning to work on a phased basis. Lauren said he remains determined to be here for their young family. She added: "He keeps saying, he will accept the diagnosis but no one will dictate how long he has left. ‌ "We have been thrown into this world of uncertainty. There is such limited new treatment on the NHS for glioblastoma. "I keep thinking will this Christmas be Robbie’s last but I need to stay positive. Our wedding will be an opportunity to celebrate all the good.” To donate to the wedding fund, visit the GoFundMe here and to help fund Robbie's treatment, visit the GoFundMe here.
