‘My husband had an absolutely horrific death’

BERNIE GALLAGHER’S husband was in so much pain before he died he could only sleep for 15 minutes at a time while supported in a lukewarm bath.

The mother of three children aged between 12 and 18, who lives just outside Mullingar, believes his condition was worsened by the alternative cancer therapy he received at the East Clinic in Killaloe, Co Clare.

Her husband, JJ, who worked as a builder and died in September 2002, aged 48, had stomach cancer for which he had been successfully treated at a London clinic by a top surgeon. Unfortunately, he was later found to have cancer of the liver.
