Glasgow Dad, 40, Given Months to Live, Focuses on Making Memories with Family

Glasgow: A 40-year-old dad named Stewart Phimister has received some tough news. After feeling pain in his stomach, he found out he has incurable cancer.

Stewart, who has a little girl named Darcie, went to the doctor last year. He was feeling unwell and asked for a scan. But the doctors said he had to wait. They gave him some pain meds and told him to try physiotherapy.

After pushing for a scan, he finally got one. Sadly, the results showed lesions on his liver and a mass behind his pancreas. His family was devastated when the doctors said it was cancer, and it had spread too much to be treated.

Stewart’s partner, Alannah, shared how surreal it felt. He looked healthy, but the doctors said he had only three to six months left. They believe it’s primary liver cancer, which is rare for someone his age.

Now, the family is trying to explain this to little Darcie, who will be three soon. It’s heartbreaking for them. Stewart wants to find a way to tell her that he’ll always be with her, even if he’s not around.

To help the family make memories, a fundraiser was started by Stewart’s best friend. It’s already raised nearly £9,000. The goal is to ease their financial burden so they can spend quality time together.

Alannah expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received. They want to make the most of the time they have left. They also hope their story encourages others to advocate for their health.

If you want to help, you can donate to the fundraiser. Every little bit counts in making memories that will last a lifetime.
