Declan Pierce experienced a brain haemorrhage and, within two years, a diagnosis of breast cancer. The cancer diagnosis arrived on the first day of a holiday in Spain while he was sitting on a plastic lilo. He was keeping a watchful eye on his eight-year-old daughter playing by the pool when his phone rang. The caller was his doctor, who informed him that he had cancer. The diagnosis abruptly halted the holiday and family time. For the second time in less than two years, his world stopped. The sequence of events reflects two major, sudden medical crises in a short period.
