E5948B Female depressed patient sitting on the bed in a hospital ward
DEAR DEIDRE: THE news that my daughter is dying of cancer has broken my heart.
I want to be there to support her but she’s pushing everyone away.
I’m 60 and my daughter is 35. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer five years ago.
At first, we thought the surgery and chemotherapy had been successful. But a few months ago, tests showed her treatments weren’t working and it had spread to her lungs, liver and brain.
She’s been told there’s nothing more they can offer her apart from palliative care.
I am devastated but trying not to show her, as I don’t want to upset her more.
She’s been very brave up until now, but she has withdrawn and says she doesn’t want to see anyone – even close friends and family.
The treatments have been hard on her physically, and she’s lost all her confidence.
To me, she is still my beautiful daughter. I don’t care if she’s put on weight, or if her hair hasn’t grown back.
I just want to hug her and look after her. But I also don’t want to go against her wishes. I’ve bought her some gifts – a cuddly toy and her favourite film, Notting Hill, on DVD, and would like to take them to her for comfort.
DEIDRE SAYS: This is a terribly sad situation. Facing the prospect of the loss of your child must be unbearable, and of course you want to support her.
But if she has asked not to be disturbed, it’s best to respect her wishes. She’s probably still reeling from the prognosis.
Send the gifts with a note, saying you love her and are there for her whenever she’s ready. I’m sure she will ask for you soon.
In the meantime, you need help too. See my support pack on and contact Macmillan Cancer Support (macmillan.org.uk).

LOVE Island winner Jack Fincham was today seen kissing Towie girlfriend Chloe Brockett after he was freed on bail over a dog attack.
The reality star, 32, was dragged to court after his hulking Cane Corso called Elvis attacked runner Robert Sudell.

InstagramHe has since been freed on bail after his dog attacked two people[/caption]
Fincham was today jailed for six weeks after he admitted being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.
He has now been released on bail while he appeals the sentence.
Fincham was pictured celebrating his freedom with Chloe in Essex this afternoon.
The couple were seen side-by-side heading to a local supermarket as Fincham made a call.
The reality star, wearing a long dark coat, then leaned over and kissed Chloe, who had earlier wept as Fincham was jailed.
His lawyer told Mail Online: “We are disappointed that the Magistrates did not find it would be unjust to activate the Suspended Sentence Order.
“However, the case remains finely poised, and we are optimistic that in the fullness of time, the Crown Court will uphold Mr Fincham’s appeal.”
Elvis first attacked runner Robert in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.
He then mauled an unnamed woman in Grays, Essex, in June 2024 but no harm was done.
Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time.
Ms Wade said this order would be activated in part, adding that “we find no reason not to do so” as she jailed the star.
Fincham was also ordered to pay £3,680 – including £200 compensation fee to Robert and a £50 compensation fee to the other victim.
A payment plan of £400-a-month will be set up upon his release from prison, Southend Magistrates’ Court heard.
JPs heard that Fincham failed to comply with three rules over the dog’s ownership following the first attack.
These included to always keep the dog on the lead, for the dog to wear a muzzle when outside and to not leave the animal alone with anyone under the age of 16.

The guidelines were set in September 2022 when Elvis bit runner Robert and Fincham took part in a dog ownership course.
But there was another incident in June 2024 when the animal lashed out at a woman – sinking its teeth into her leg.
The court was told Fincham would get Elvis back upon his jail release if the three stipulations are met.
Fincham has previously come under fire over his pet dog.
Fans have slammed the star over Elvis’ cropped ears, which is illegal in the UK.
He revealed last year that he had got the pooch from Russia and that it was imported by Protection Dogs WorldWide.
The former pen salesman also owns Sandy, a bulldog he bought while he was dating and living with his ex Dani Dyer.
Fincham appeared on the 2018 series of Love Island where he and Dani – daughter of actor Danny Dyer – scooped the top prize.
The couple split just 129 days after leaving the villa following a series of rows.
Dani broke the news to their followers in December 2018, saying: “She wrote: “Jack and I have sadly decided to part ways. It’s been an incredible six months and we will always have a place in our hearts for each other, but we’ve sadly come to the realisation that it’s not meant to be long term.
“We both plan to stay friends. I hope you’ll all understand. Love Dani x.”
Fincham has found himself on the wrong side of the law numerous times since 2021 when he was arrested for drink-driving.
He recently told The Sun how his 2023 conviction for speeding while high on cocaine was a wake up call and led him to sign up for Narcotics Anonymous.
The star added: “This has made me realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions.
“I was carrying on with the same lifestyle after the arrest, but now it’s hit home.
“I had no respect for myself and was selfish about others. I didn’t care what happened to me in the frame of my mind I was in.
“I wasn’t thinking about what harm I could do to myself or how I could hurt others.”

1 week agoLatest NewsComments Off on Man Utd flop Antony could be joined at Real Betis by fellow Red Devils outcast as they target loan transfer
REAL BETIS are reportedly ready to offer Tyrell Malacia an Old Trafford escape.
The Red Devils have already sent Antony on loan to the LaLiga club for the remainder of the season.
GettyTyrell Malacia has been linked with a loan move away from Manchester United[/caption]
The Dutchman could be teaming up with Antony at Real BetisGetty
Antony has endured a miserable time in the North West since signing for £85.5million in September 2022.
He joined Betis – currently 10th in Spain’s top tier – last Friday, but didn’t play in a 1-0 win over Mallorca at the weekend.
Malacia has also struggled at Old Trafford after becoming Erik ten Hag‘s first signing in June of the same year.
He has appeared in just 25 games across the last three seasons, failing to notch either a goal or assist.
Malacia only returned to first-team football last November after serious knee surgery.
The 25-year-old was sidelined for 15 months but has since been unable to nail down a place under Ruben Amorim.
According to The Mail, Betis are preparing a late loan bid for Malacia before Monday’s deadline.
The full-back is desperate for regular minutes, with United hoping to bring in Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Should Dorgu join United before the deadline, Malacia would be pushed further down the pecking order.
Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.
Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.
Andre Onana – 7
Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.
Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham‘s main attacking threat.
Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.
Matthijs de Ligt – 8
Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.
Harry Maguire – 9
A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.
Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.
Lisandro Martinez – 8
Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.
His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.
Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.
Amad Diallo – 6
Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.
He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.
Alejandro Garnacho – 3
Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.
Rasmus Hojlund – 4
His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.
He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.
Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.
Subs:
Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6
A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5
Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.
Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6
Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.
Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6
Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.
A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.
Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6
Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.
United are hoping Antony can rediscover to form which made him one of Europe’s most exciting wingers at Ajax.
Since joining almost three years ago, the Brazilian has made 96 appearances but only contributed 12 goals and five assists.

PATRICK Kielty’s wife Cat Deeley stunned on air in an affordably priced blazer from Zara.

Virgin Media Cat paired the suit with a pair of chic heels from Dune[/caption]
Cat, who is renowned for her trendy sense of style, both on and off screen, looked incredible on today’s show.
The 47-year-old took to Instagram before the show to share some snaps of herself posing backstage at the ITV studio in London.
The popular presenter sported an elegant mocha coloured suit from popular high street brand Zara.
The chic suit was comprised of a beautiful over sized blazer with a notched lapel collar and two front flap pockets.
To style it her way, Cat rolled up the sleeves of the blazer and wore a white t-shirt underneath.
The blazer is also brilliant value on Zara’s website as it has been reduced down to just €19.99, marked down from its original price of €69.95.
She paired the blazer with similarly styled wide-legged oversized trousers; they are currently sold out on Zara’s website.
To round off her stylish on-air look, Cat donned a pair of pointed-toe heels from Dune.
The gorgeous heels just barely peeked out from under her oversized pants adding some shape to the overall look.
Cat’s husband, Patrick Kielty is the host of RTE’s hit Friday night chat show, The Late Late Show.
And last week viewers were hailing one of his interviewees on the show after the pair had an “inspiring” chat.
Garron Noone appeared on the Late Late Show for the Country Music Special last year where he surprised viewers with his outstanding rendition of a Kieth Whitley song.
But this time around he made an appearance to open up about his rise to fame over the number of years on TikTok.
INSPIRING
The musician went on to speak about some of the challenges he faced in his younger years.
Garron explained: “I used to suffer from agoraphobia. I started having panic attacks when I was about sixteen.
“One of my friends had died and that sort of started them. They got worse over time, over a few years and eventually, it got to the point where I couldn’t leave the house without having a panic attack.
“I spent about five years completely house bound, having panic attacks every day, couldn’t go to the shops.
“I worked in a phone shop, I could go there, I’d have panic attacks at work but I didn’t do anything else. No social life, no nothing, pretty much just stayed to myself.
“And I put it out there on New Year’s Eve that I felt at that time for many, many years – I felt that my life would never go anywhere, I was never going to have a life that was going to be worth living, I felt really hopeless.
“Out of nowhere, by keeping with it, life has given me so much and I’m doing things now that I never thought I’d be able to do, like you know, being on telly – that would be one of them.”

Woman at home, sitting on sofa and using smart phone for trading online.
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband denies deleting his phone history, but I know he’s lying.
I saw he’d been looking at an online problem page, but the following day it had vanished from his history. Now I’m worried he’s looking at porn or, worse, having an affair.
We’ve been married for 20 years. I’m 47 and he’s 49.
Lately, he’s been very secretive with his phone, always taking it with him around the house, and abruptly closing apps when I sit down nearby.
Although I know it’s wrong, I decided to look through his history.
I asked him to make me a cup of tea and quickly scrolled through before he got back. I saw he was on a problem page but I didn’t have time to read it properly.
The following day, I managed to look again – but there was no trace of it.
He’s clearly hiding something, but I have no idea what. I hate being lied to.
DEIDRE SAYS: Everyone is entitled to privacy, even from their spouse.
You shouldn’t jump to nefarious conclusions.
It’s possible your husband is worried about something and wanted neutral advice before he talked to you about it. Or he could simply be interested in reading about other people’s issues.
The real issue is that you don’t trust him. Without trust, your relationship will flounder.
Talk to him and ask if he’s worried about anything. Offer to help.
Hopefully, he will open up.
My support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, should help.
