The tragic story of Lance Roberts: the warrior father died
The man was unable to arrive at the ceremony in St. Stephen’s Church in Ystrad Rhondda. He called an ambulance, which took him to Royal Glamorgan Hospital, and the next day he was diagnosed with an advanced brain tumor. Later, the young dad was taken to the University of Wales hospital in Cardiff, where he underwent brain surgery on 4 October 2018.
He later returned home but fell ill with meningitis and had to go back to the hospital. In the following months, Mr. Roberts, from Trealaw, Rhondda, underwent 43 sessions of radiotherapy and 10 sessions of chemotherapy.
An infection resulted in an allergic reaction to chemotherapy, which meant it had to be stopped and then resumed, but the treatment was later stopped completely as it did not work. He also underwent a platelet transfusion. Despite treatment, the brain tumor was still growing rapidly and developed into a gliblastoma, which is even more aggressive and severe.
