The fiancé of a mum who died after being diagnosed with breast cancer aged just 24, wants to continue to raise awareness in her memory and warn other women.

Angela Kelliher was diagnosed with breast cancer more than 10 years ago and despite undergoing treatment, passed away in November 2010.

The mum-of-two, who grew up in Surrey before moving to Kent, had previously started to complain of breast pain and after a few months found a lump in her breast.

It was thought to be something hormonal but when it did not go away she went back to her doctor and was told it was most likely an abscess.

She was prescribed medication but when that did not work Angela insisted she was sent for a mammogram and biopsy.

She was then diagnosed with breast cancer at 24 years old in April 2010 – three months after she found the lump.

For the next six months she underwent rounds of chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy and was due to have radiotherapy.

But before she could have the treatment, Angela had developed more lumps and started to feel unwell.

“This is my way of saying thank you to the people who helped her and to remember her...”

A further test revealed she had a shadow on her lung and cancerous cells in her bone marrow.

Angela passed away in the November – eight months after being diagnosed.

Her fiancé Jamie Langridge is now sharing Angela’s story to help raise awareness. He said: “The diagnosis took three months to reach, and I think this is largely due to Angela's age.

“Doctors do know what they are talking about but if you are in any doubt about what they are saying, I would always question it.

“I do not know if that would have saved Angela but we would have moved a lot quicker with her treatment.

“She was so strong, she would always say she was not going anywhere. I thought I had let her down. We did not get to do any of the things we had planned.”

The 38-year-old is now hosting his third charity football match in honour of Angela on Saturday, June 17, at Chatham Town FC, in Bournville Avenue, Chatham.

“Awareness is so important, and if I only help prevent one person going through what Angela and myself endured all the effort of putting on these events would be worth it,” Jamie, of Weeds Wood Road, Chatham, added.

“This is my way of saying thank you to the people who helped her and to remember her.”

The match will be kicking off at the stadium from 6pm with music, a raffle, an auction, and award show afterwards in Bobby’s Bar.

Entry is £1 and free for children under the age of 11 with all proceeds being donated to Cancer Research UK.
