Though the mother from Kent tragically died in 2020, she gifted her body to science to help fight the war on the disease – allowing her body to be dissected in the TV programme, My Dead Body.<\/p>\n
Toni was forced to have her eye removed after she was diagnosed with\u00a0adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that spread across her face.<\/p>\n
In 2016, she noticed her eye was continually puffy and her vision became blurry. <\/p>\n An MRI scan revealed a lump behind here eye, which tests revealed was cancer. <\/p>\n This prompted the removal of her right eye and the tumour behind it, in an attempt to stop the cancer spreading. <\/p>\n In 2020, scans revealed\u00a0it had returned to her lungs and skin tissue.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Toni was a single mother of two young children. <\/p>\n When she died her children Charlie and Faith were eight and seven years old, respectively. <\/p>\n<\/picture>MUM'S LEGACY <\/span><\/p>\n
