Mother-of-two Kelly Stabb, 39, from Paignton, Devon, died after her bowel cancer spread, with her being unable to raise £200,000 in time to access the drug binimetinib, which is available for other types of cancer on the health service.

PC Stabb initially accepted she would never see her sons Jake, 10, and Luke, eight, turn 18, however, her hopes were raised when a trial started testing binimetinib in colon cancer, despite her not meeting the study's strict inclusion criteria.

After putting £20,000 of their savings towards the treatment, as well as fundraising £43,000, Ms Stabb's husband Simon claims his wife became too unwell to receive the life-extending drug.

Ms Stabb's death was announced on Twitter, with police officers from across the UK paying tribute to the 'hero'. Vomit
