The family of a mum who died aged just 48 years old earlier this year have managed to raise an eye-watering amount of money in her name.
Catherine Gokcen, from Southport, died on June 3 after battling a rare form of cancer since 2019. Initially, she was diagnosed with triple-negative primary breast cancer in the autumn of 2019 and had a single mastectomy, lymph node clearance and chemotherapy.
Catherine was given the all-clear in April 2020, but 14 months later, she went back to the doctor after noticing that her legs were going numb. The second diagnosis revealed that the secondary, stage four metastatic cancer had spread to her spine, liver, hip and chest.
