In 2018, Helen Delaney feared she might not be around to witness the marriage of her son Andrew and his partner Laura.
Key points:
Helen Delaney was told she would have eight to 12 months to live, after a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2018
She has been trialling a new immunotherapy treatment, which boosts the natural immune defence to cancer
Her life has returned to normal and her cancers are no longer active
A stage four cancer diagnosis came as a shock to the 59-year-old Gold Coast grandmother, and discussions were had about moving the day forward.
