Mum of four with 'biggest smile' dies two days after devastating diagnosis

A much-loved mum-of-four who had the "kindest heart" died just two days after being given a devastating cancer diagnosis. Janice Cassidy Adair went to her doctor and had blood tests after feeling unwell for several weeks.

Nail Technician Janice who has three sons Iain, 22, Logan, 11, and Kian, seven, and a daughter, Laura, 19, was then told she had bone and liver cancer.

Her condition deteriorated and just two days later, the 46-year-old died in hospital.

Janice, from Scotland, had only recently found out she was going to be a grandparent for the first time following the news that daughter Laura Kirk was expecting.

"For the last couple of weeks she had not been well but she went and got bloods done and the doctors thought it might have been jaundice," Laura told Glasgow Live.

"However, last Monday the doctors said it didn't look too good and they suspected it was cancer so on Tuesday they did a scan which confirmed Mum had liver and bone cancer.

"They couldn't give her the MRI scan because she actually was struggling to stay awake and answer questions, she was not compos mentis. The doctors said they couldn't do anymore and she passed away in hospital that night.

"I had gone to see her and I know her so I could tell she was sugar-coating something but then the doctor spoke to me and I was taken aback. My mum just accepted it, we knew she wasn't well and was in pain but we never thought it was cancer.

"She was well known and much-loved, she was bubbly and happy, she didn't take any nonsense but she was a good woman."

Laura Kirk also posted a tribute to her mum, from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, on Facebook last Thursday, writing:
