France has confirmed that a chinese tourist, who was in his 805, has died from the coronavirus, the first covid 19 death in europe. The death came as the head of the who told a security conference that its still too early to say whether the coronavirus outbreak will become a global epidemic. Canada a global epidemic. Is leading a renewed call for iran canada is leading a renewed call for iran to hand over the black boxes from an airliner brought down over tehran in january. From an airliner brought down over tehran in january. More than 176 people on board were killed. Much of western europe is being battered by a storm front thats causing severe travel disruption. In britain, winds have been gusting at up to 120km h. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled and in the the north of england, troops have been deployed to assist with anti flood measures. A year on from the death of bbc presenter dianne oxberry, her friend and colleague Annabel Tiffin investigates Ovarian Cancer. Annabel, who lost her own mother to the disease, discovers the impact on diannes friends and family, meets others affected by this illness and uncovers the Ground Breaking research trying to tackle this forgotten cancer which kills 4,000 women a year. This is bbc one in the north west. Its not about accepting that diannes died. I cant do that. You dont think to yourself, im going to lose my partner, im going lose my wife, im going to lose my best friend. You know, the kids are gonna lose their mum. A year ago, ian lost his wife to Ovarian Cancer, two children lost a mother. And her death has left the team here at north west tonight heartbroken. But we know that sadness is also shared by you. I lost a colleague and a friend. Hundreds of thousands of viewers lost a familiar face from their living rooms. Tonight, well meet fathers, daughters, mothers, husbands affected by Ovarian Cancer, something which killed my own mum. For it to come back so quickly and to have spread so quickly, she cant get out of bed. And shes taken so much medication. You know, weve had this whole kitchen full of painkillers. Its devastating to know that with the knowledge, we could have done something different. So its like a roller coaster with no brakes and certainly you cant do anything about it. Well be asking why theres still a lack of awareness, funding and research into this deadly disease and discovering why in 2020 Ovarian Cancer shouldnt be a silent killer. At the moment, the survival chances for a woman with Ovarian Cancer are what . Bleak. God love her youve made it, sunshine. When she was on the radio or on camera, she was utterly herself. And i think viewers and listenersjust innately know that she was sort of the first person i really met right before i went on air at radio one when i was terrified. And she wasjust hilarious. Just hit off immediately. Very quickly she was pregnant into his afternoon posse. We permitted on your lips or your ability. Dianne move to manchester in the early 1990s, catching the eye very quickly she was pulled into his afternoon posse. Is it your looks, or your musical ability . Dianne move to manchester in the early 1990s, catching the eye of cameraman ian hindle. When she came along, it was the talk at the studio. Diane 0xbridge is coming to work in manchester, you know. And either stand that she saw me, i was actually standing in for a liverpudlian singer called sonia. She wasnt actually there, she was late so i was actually pretending to be sonia and dancing along, whilst miming to her record. We got engaged the following year and then we were married in 1993. Yeah, 25 years are they really happy marriage, so. Trick or treating tomorrow night . Yes, i will be fully dressed. Diane was at home in front of the camera, but her top priority was like at home. I dont think she had any perception of how popular she was. She was not starry in any way. Diannes main aim in life was once she had finished herjob, to go straight home and see the kids. Just the best listener it wasnt ever hot air, was it . No. Siobhan and jo were two of diannes closest friends. You had your individual reasons for being close to her. We met when our children were tiny. Very young. It was always great to be with her because you all have felt lighter at the end of it. Because you met her. Walking our dogs. But there has been times when shes had poo bags on her hands instead of gloves. You know, shes wearing her daughters scarf, and a little tiny hat. She did not care. Diannes life seemed complete, but in the autumn of 2018, things started to go wrong. 0ctober time, perhaps, she complained of stomach aches, feeling nauseous. She had been complaining of feeling tired and. Just, she was definitely not herself. I think she went on to feel a lot worse over the weeks after that. So much so that she had to go to a e at the hospital. And from there, things went very quickly wrong. From having the diagnosis on new years eve 2018, to her dying, was ten days. She had stage three c Ovarian Cancer. I wasnt expecting that, even as a medical professional. I remember her saying to me probably about a week before she died, i dont think im going to get through this. When do you think she was aware that she wasnt going to get better . I doubt it was more than 48 hours before she died. I asked her, are you frightened . And she said, i dont know what to be frightened of. She was incredibly brave and extraordinary. The kids need to see their mum and dianne needed to see the kids. She perked up and they came in to see her. They were holding her hand and talking to her. Obviously, the following day they had come to come in again and that was just awful. Thinking back to it, it is so. It is so upsetting to think about how she was feeling on those last, those last few weeks of her life. How are you and how are the children . Its. You learn to cope, i would say. Its not about accepting that dianne has died. I cant do that. She is not with us any more. You know, my kids. It has been a struggle. It will struggle at some points, but you know what . I always. We always seem to get through it as a family. It was her birthday in august and she didnt turn 52. Ijust turned 52 and she didnt get 52. No, its. She has really not here any more. I feel bereft because i cant have that friendship with anyone else. She was the only one. And i feel sad for everything that she will miss. Seeing the kids grow up, everything that they will miss. Because they had a great mum. I miss her desperately. Desperately, yeah. There is no one else like. Like her. With dianne 0xberry, there was no time at all, but with me, this was three and a half years ago. Whereas, i could have been dianne. Rachel is terminally ill with Ovarian Cancer. Did you know anything about Ovarian Cancer before . Not a thing. Nope. Not at all. Ijust thought, i dont feel right. I need to go and sort it out. I was prepared for it. My husband wasnt. The biggest shock was that we thought we were going to have the next 20 or 30 years together and there is a significant risk that is not going to be the case. And, i want to spend time with my wife. Since then, rachel has had a hysterectomy and four rounds of chemotherapy. She is currently on a cancer drug trial at manchesters christie hospital. The tumour is still growing, but not at the rate it would have been if i hadnt been on treatment. I will always have it and i know that, but my family all know that. My husband and my daughters. When she is going through her chemotherapy, that is tough. She cant get out of bed. And she is taking so much medication. You know, we have had this whole kitchen full of painkillers and injections. We have had extra time and it was all down to the early diagnosis. There is no doubt about that at all. I have worked at christie hospital over the last 25 years working with patients like dianne and rachel working with Ovarian Cancer. |t is a disease that is not very well understood. Here are some figures. 7500 women a year are diagnosed. 4000 die. 11 women every day. Survival rates are lower than many cancers. Less than half of patients survive for five years. That is because the illness comes to light when it is already at an advanced stage, when it has already spread within the womens abdomen. One in four women are diagnosed after arriving at a e. The two biggest risk factors are age and family history. Most women develop the illness after their menopause. Unfortunately, for Ovarian Cancer, survival rates have been very poor. Other countries in europe are significantly better than us. My sisters and i had lost our mum to Ovarian Cancer in 2017. You and mum had a particularly. You were very alike, werent you . Gardening, because she was a massive gardener. I do miss that, actually, because even now, i will go out in the garden and i will want to ask about something. I think she was quite resigned to it, wasnt she, by this point . Oh yeah. Definitely. My dad feels that there were chances to catch the cancer. What is frustrating is she knew there was something not right. She went to them. They didnt initially do what they should have perhaps done to spotted earlier. Spot it. Oh no, definitely. She went there and said, i have got a swollen stomach again and they said, well, have you thought about going to be gym . This is a 79 year old woman who probably never been to the gym in her life. Certainly, that initial diagnosis was late in coming, but i think she should have just been listened to more. The tv presenter, sarah greene, feels the same. She had a similar situation with her mother and actress, marjie lawrence. She was always determined to be an actress, but she went on working all her life. Three children, but always went on working. Until marjie started to feel poorly. Her gp. Continually said, well, it could be this, it could be that. Then her tummy started to get very bloated. She got thinner and thinner. She was getting more and more tired. I mean, just going crazy trying to work out what the problem could be. Eventually, i heart surgeon suggested it could be cancer. Sarah went back to her mums gp. And i explained to him and he said, well, who says that . On what authority did he say that . So he came and had a look. He tapped her tummy and he called the ambulance. She went into a e and they found a mass. Three and a half weeks later, she had at home. A day after that, i was in the waiting room of the community nurses. Up on the notice board, was a leaflet listing every symptom that my mother had and saying, this could be Ovarian Cancer. If we had seen that leaflet three months earlier, it could have been a very different story. Grief doesnt go away if youre lucky you learn how to live with it. When i learned not paying a just brought it home. It is not silent and it needs not kill if you know what you are looking for. The symptoms are persistent bloating, feeling full loss of appetite, pelvic or abdominal pain, needing be more urgently and more often. Symptoms are frequent, persistent and new. Ovarian cancer symptoms can be vague and the diagnosis can be missed. Screening programmes for this cancer have not been proven successful, in contrast to the situation for bowel cancer. Possible diagnosis can be confirmed by a combination of the specific blood test called ca 125. An internal ultrasound. Treatment options include chemotherapy and surgery, but the number of drugs we have available for Ovarian Cancer is less than we have for other cancers. We dont have a huge range of drugs that we can treat them with. This really has a huge impact on survival chances, and what we must do to really tackle Ovarian Cancer is improve all these fronts. Sometimes they back night mid afternoon and sometimes we have a it had a ct before. Any problem with the injection . Said that will be at 1255. It is quite tiring. You just feel that that i in and by asking herto take a deep breath. And then to breathe again. How do you feel about a quick thank you to get the results in two weeks. That must be a quite anxious time. Yes it is. Its the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you think about going to sleep. The three key elements are early diagnosis and prolong the patients lives. It will be Great Teachers and patients. At that they cannot care and hopefully we can let them longer and better. In manchester they are trying a new procedure. They are taking tumours out of patients on the third floor, and testing than on the fifth. What we are doing here is they are looking after ourselves that we have grown from real human tumours. This particular project has not been networking for three to four years. It is quite a difficult cancer to take samples from. And me are an operation for us to get operations. It is key we have laboratories that are very close to the theatres. The aim is to use a needed therapy treatments to tackle this cancer. We can extract from the tumour appetite and surgery. We can expand their sales and bad we cant use this back into the patient said the patient is getting down to attack the cancer. We now know what was called a variance cancer actually starts from cells in the fallopian tubes. The idea is for b cells on the fallopian tube, transform to become cancerous. And then they sloughed off and go on the surface of the ovary. The key to increasing survival rates is to catch it quickly. This mans team is trying to get before saps through screening programmes. It already for many cancers. The end result is that we are hoping to gain insight and that will allow us to focus on particular parts of cells to develop a screening test. How long could it take to make a breakthrough . Im hoping that it will be within my scientific lifetime. My command. Hopefully within the next ten to 15 years. They have to try it but unfortunately it did not work. So we move onto the next one. Rachel trout was not controlling her child. This is her fifth round of chemotherapy. Even when they said rachel im sorry its not working, i did it was not working. You just know in yourself. Yes i am ready, i am ready for the next chemo. How long is a cycle . I have six months, and it is once a month. We start a new series at the start of every session. And it is who wins by the end of the keynote. You are extraordinarily positive. You have to be. You cant be negative, there is no point. The best place. I couldnt ask for more. Im quite lucky really. Im hospital and at home they they made very positive. Life goes on. Itjust goes on. Theres nothing you can do about it. Whats important is what is going to happen next week. Having some good times. I am delighted that i have a grandchild. I thought, to be honest, when i was diagnosed that i wouldnt get to see any grandchildren. And i love children. Just a few days after we found with rachel she contracted a chest infection. Just a few days after we found with rachel she contracted a chest infection. Because of hurt weakened immune system she was unable to fight it off. Sadly she passed away last week at the age of 57. One of dianes favourite places. In here somewhere on her roses . Yes these were planted in the memory of diane. We take the dogs here and say this is what we have been. It is heart wrenching at the same time also. It is still for me so wrong. If a positive. And that is what has been trying to do last year. Create something positive from what had happened. We find ourselves in at the end of our first year which is a tramp. He set up a charity. It is already raised more than £100,000. Set up a money has gone to the professors work in oxford. I think youll be able to look back in a few years when the kids get in their teens. They can look back and say my mum said she died when they were young, she made a difference to people. She would expand modified i think, but i would have liked to see can you believe this we had so many people running. They all had t shirts with your name on it. She is on a mission to raise awareness about Ovarian Cancer. I dont sit here criticising doctors or what they did because they were amazing. It is definitely not making that forefront of doctors thoughts. We have a long term legacy where we want to focus on what diana stood for in her life. Ovarian cancer is this much of her story. This is her story. That isjust how it ended. How does the future look now for you and the kids . It is still very very hard for me to think about. The years going hard. What i have to help my kids certainly have a full life and are very happy. Despite what happened to them. Hello again. Storm dennis continues to batter britain.
