Becca rushed herself to the emergency room at the hospital where she worked in Poole, a seaside town in southern England, but it wasn’t until a couple of days later when she’d developed a related symptom that she was sent for further tests.
“She noticed that her tummy was distended for a few days afterwards,” her sister Sophie shaed in a video for the charity Stand Up To Cancer.
Her mother, Monica, said the early signs didn’t seem “ominous,” with most of Becca’s cancer markers coming back normal, while her dad Martin said, “I think she knew things still weren’t right.”
Becca undergone another surgery in hopes of finding the cause of her condition. However,while her family was convinced things would get back to normal again, the doctors, who were also Becca’s colleagues, delivered devastating news, Becca had a rare, aggressive form of ovarian cancer that had already spread to her breasts, lungs, and lymph nodes.
