Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E toru ngā tamariki a tētahi whaea, e kī ana i whakaorangia tōna ora e tētahi tapahi pizza, i muri i tana kitenga i tētahi kōhuru i roto i te uma i a ia e kai ana. I kitea e Melanie Thorpe, no Cumbria, te koromeke i a ia e horoi ana i nga maramara o tana salami me tana pizza paru i runga i tana koti. I āwangawanga ia, ka kite ia i tana kaitiaki hauora, ā, e rima noa iho ngā rā i muri mai, ka whiwhi ia i te rongo kino kei a ia te mate pukupuku uma. I kitea e Melanie Thorpe, me tana tāne a Craig, te koromeke i roto i tōna uma i a rāua e horoi ana i ngā kurupae mai i tana salami me te pizza pūngāwerewere i runga i tōna koti. Ka mea a Mrs Thorpe, 52, 'Kei te tino pai ahau, ā, he pai tonu taku āhua, he hauora hoki, nō reira kāore au i te mōhio he raruraru pea. 'Ko Whiringa-a-rangi 2012 tērā, ā, kua haere taku tama taitamariki ki te whare wānanga - hei whānau ka noho tonu mātou ki te tēpu ki te kai, engari i kai mātou ko Craig taku tāne i te pizza, ā, e noho ana mātou ki runga i ō mātou turi. 'I hinga etahi i runga i toku koti, a ka haere ki te parai i te reira atu, ka ite i te papatipu. 'Kāore ahau i kite i te reira i mua. 'Kāore i nui, engari he nui, ā, ka taea e au te whakaaro - kāore i rite ki te wā e whai wāhi ana koe ki tō kiri.' I te ata i muri mai ka waea atu ia ki tana kaitiaki hauora - ā, i whakaritea he wā i roto i te haora. 'I tukuna ahau e rātou ki te Royal Lancaster Infirmary, ā, i whakaritea he wā ki ahau i muri mai i taua rā,' i kī a Mrs Thorpe. 'I tutaki ahau ki tētahi taote, ā, i mahia e rātau he tātaritanga. He tere rawa te mea katoa.' E rima noa nga ra i muri i te kitenga o te puku, ka hoatu ki a Mrs Thorpe (i whakaahuatia i mua i tana mate), te rongo kino kei a ia te mate pukupuku. I whakaekehia ia ki te mastectomy, te hanga i te uma me te chemotherapy. I whakaaturia mai e ngā tātaritanga e rua ngā kōpeke i a ia, he mate pukupuku rāua. I te marama o Hānuere 2013, i whakahaeretia a Mrs Thorpe e waru me te hawhe haora te roa. Ko Mrs Thorpe, ko ia te whaea o Arama, 29, Alex, 27, me Niall, 20, i mea: 'I tika kia tangohia katoa taku kopu, engari i mahi ratou i te pokanga whakaora i te wa ano. 'Ka kī tonu ahau i haere ahau ki te moe ki ngā uma e rua, ka oho ake ki ngā uma e rua.' I whakaarohia e nga taote he angitu te pokanga, ā, e ono nga rauna o te chemotherapy a Mrs Thorpe. Kei te haere ia ki te tirotiro i ia ono marama kia mohio ai ko te mate pukupuku...
I kite a Melanie Thorpe, 52, i tana tākuta i te rā i muri i te kitenga o te kōpeke i te uma maui. 'Kāore i te nui, engari he nui - pēnei i te wā e whai wāhi ana koe,' i kī ia. I kitea he mate pukupuku i ngā rā e rima i muri mai i muri i te kitenga o ngā pūoko e rua. I whakaekehia tana kopu, i whakahoutia, i whakaekehia, ā, kua kore te mate pukupuku i tēnei wā.
