The brave couple must now face a huge second battle while Martine swears to remain as "mentally strong as possible".

She told Wales Online: "All you can do is be as mentally strong as possible in the hope of overcoming that.

"Of course, I do not want my children to live without their mothers, which is my top priority and concern.

"They are such a blessing."

Last summer, she began to suffer excruciating back pain and said that she was "as narrow as an old woman".

The doctors discovered that her cerebrospinal fluid was yellow – instead of being cleared – and that she was sent for an emergency MRI that uncovered a mass at the base of spinal cord.

The scans revealed that there were more masses in his spine and in his brain and that's when Martine "became very shocked".

And on January 2, Martine received the news she feared and was diagnosed with a rare tumor of the central nervous system known as the diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor.

She added, "We need to create as many memories as possible right now. I have already made an exhaustive list because I have been told that my cancer limits life. "

The family is not able to take out life insurance and a GoFundMe page created by a family friend has already raised £ 12,000 in three days.
