Cervical cancer campaigner Stephen Teap has vowed to keep “fighting for change” as he spoke about his late wife, Irene.She was given a terminal diagnosis in 2017, after two false negative tests in 2010 and 2013.In an emotional video for Claire Byrne Live this week, Stephen recalled how it had been “love at first sight” when they got together at a young age.
“Irene was sitting beside me at the time, fully functional and they’re telling me she’s not going to live, that she’s only got a few weeks left, it’s the most difficult thing to get your head around. To be honest, I don’t think we ever did.Stephen explained that Irene had immediately “put a milestone back into her head”, determined to live long enough to see her eldest son, Oscar, start primary school at the end of August that summer.
Stephen went on to explain how he was channeling his feelings into “fighting for change” and for answers for his two sons.“Anger is a strange thing. I can shout, I can roar, I can punch the walls but at the end of the day none of that gets you anywhere. “Getting the answers for them; fighting for the support for us and the other women and families that have been dragged into this.
