GoFundMeA Scots family’s holiday turned into a “nightmare” after a dad fell ill and was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, which had spread to his lungs.
Dominika Ulatowska and her partner Warren from Paisley travelled to Mexico with their one-year-old son for a family holiday before Warren fell ill.
The couple spent $4,000 (£2,940) on tests and discovered Warren had several tumours on both of his lungs as well as his prostate.
The couple were unable to fly home early as a fit to fly certificate was required by their airline.
They stayed in Mexico for ten days, and eventually flew home on a ten-hour flight with two doctors onboard helping the family.
Warren was taken to A&E upon returning to the UK, where he was treated for sepsis.
He was diagnosed with stage four advanced prostate cancer which has spread to his lungs and surrounding nodules, known as T4 N1.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by Dominika with over £7,900 being raised.
A post on the page read: “We are currently awaiting chemotherapy.
“Everyday for us isn’t easy but we want to spend it as a family as long as we can.
“I have decided to do this fundraiser to raise money for my fiancée to get the care he requires whilst on chemotherapy and then being at home and requiring further treatment.
“These funds will go to help my fiancé battle cancer, having a private medical nurse at home so I can take care of my one-year-old son and make sure that my fiancé is in safe hands.”
