THE TODDINGTON mum fighting a courageous battle against cancer is now confined to a wheelchair.
Maggie Thomas’s distraught husband David told the Herald&Post: “Things are pretty bad. She’s struggling.
“But she’s incredible – awe-inspiring, very positive and determined to beat it.
“She’s on a high dose of steroids so she’s looking very bloated and doesn’t want anyone to see her.”
The former Cardinal Newman pupil returned home briefly last week before commercial photographer David drove her back to the controversial clinic in Germany which specialises in treating the immune system.
Maggie, 46, is convinced the regime she’s following there will prolong her life and win her precious time with her family.
The couple have six children ranging in age from 10 to five. They are Liam, twins Daniel and Anne, David, Cian and Fintan.
Maggie, whose mum is Dunstable doctor Anne Standen, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. It rapidly spread to her lungs, liver, ribs and spine. She now has tumours in her brain.
