Fi given only few weeks to live

LOVE more – that is the message Perthshire cancer campaigner Fi Munro has asked people to take from her story after revealing she has stopped receiving cancer treatment and has been given weeks to live.

Award-winning blogger Fi has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for more than four years.

She has spent much of that time campaigning, raising awareness of cancer and some of the issues facing patients, and exploring treatment options.

Fi, who lives in Errol in the Carse of Gowrie with her husband and dog, has already had major surgery to remove several organs including her womb and spleen.

The 34-year-old, who wrote a book titled How Long Have You Got?, had been exploring repurposed medication, in which drugs produced for other conditions are used against cancer.

In December, she launched a crowdfunding appeal to help her explore further treatment options in America, after immunotherapy failed to stop cancerous growths on her lungs.

However, in a video posted on social media at the weekend, Fi said she would now be receiving palliative care from home.

Her message, which has been watched by thousands, was a simple one, urging people to love more, and to forgive.

In what Fi described as her hardest update, she thanked everyone who has helped her throughout her battle.

She said: “I’m so grateful for every message I’ve received over the last four and a half years. I can’t tell you what it means to me.

“If you take nothing else away from my life, please love more. That’s it, it’s that simple.”
