A young woman who has had to move into hospice care after being diagnosed with colon cancer<\/a> has said, ‘I do’, in a lovely, intimate ceremony<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liz Kavanagh, from Galway, was told she first had cancer towards the end of 2024, and has bravely been fighting the disease<\/a> ever since. She has over 20,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares updates about her condition and chemotherapy treatments.<\/p>\n She got engaged to her now-husband, Kieran O’Malley, back in October of last year, and the couple officially tied the knot yesterday.<\/p>\n Liz shared some gorgeous pictures of the ceremony, where she wore a stunning white dress, on social media, writing, “So today we officially tied the knot and are now Mr & Mrs O’Malley.<\/p>\n “We had a great day surrounded by family and friends, and it was all that we could have asked for.”<\/p>\n Liz has always been candid about her health online, and earlier this week, she shared a heartbreaking update, revealing that she had been moved into hospice care.<\/p>\n “A lot of you know I’ve been in hospital, I’ve been in hospital for nearly six weeks now. I went up to Dublin for two weeks to have surgery to see could they help me in any way in my stomach. My stomach is very, very swollen.” She explained in a video on her Instagram story.<\/p>\n “My cancer has spread a lot. They were seeing could they remove any of the cancer, and unfortunately, they can’t. Unfortunately, it’s gone too far for them to be able to remove anything at this time. So that’s put me in a situation where my treatment’s not working anymore, and they can’t do surgery to help me. So I’m kind of at the end of the road, I suppose.<\/p>\n “On Tuesday, I moved to Galway Hospice. So, I am being very well looked after here. I was very well looked after in Galway [Hospital] as well, and in the Mater. The team that were looking after me in Dublin were amazing, but I guess, yeah, the news is not good news.<\/p>\n “I just have to be kept comfortable now and try and live as many good days as we can until the inevitable strikes. I don’t want to be lying to you. At this point, the medication’s not working, it’s all about pain relief and resting.”<\/p>\n Liz also shared that, all going well, she hopes to return home for a few hours if she feels up to it, but will have to sleep in the hospice to get a TPN because she can’t ‘eat normal food’.<\/p>\n Want to see more of the stories you love from RSVP<\/a> ?
