Tracey Bisdee, 50, spent days talking to Neal, 54, while he lay in intensive care as an aggressive form of blood cancer attacked his body. Neal was drugged up with morphine and unresponsive but the mum-of-four sat by his hospital bedside every day – even though their marriage had broken down five years before. She realised that she still loved her husband when doctors told her THREE TIMES that he was not going to make it, but clung on to hope that he might still pull through – and he did.
