‘It feels like losing a future as well as a sibling’: Laura Nuttall’s sister says she’s ‘lost her other half’ after death of 23-year-old cancer campaigner
, updated
Gracie Nuttall has spoken out about losing her sister, Laura, adding that ‘it feels like losing a future as well as losing a sibling.’
Her sister, Laura Nuttall, thought her symptoms were ‘freshers’ flu‘ but she was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme – the most aggressive form of brain cancer – in 2018.
Despite being given just 12 months to live, Laura underwent operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and graduated with a 2:1 in politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) last summer.
The brave campaigner died aged 23 at her home in Lancashire last month.
Laura manged to constantly defy the expectations of medics, which has made it even more difficult for Gracie, 21, to accept that her big sister has passed away.
