In 2014 Gemma Muldoon, originally from Porth, was only 31-years-old when she was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Typically the condition starts in the appendix and spreads to other organs like the bowel, bladder and ovaries. Affecting just one person in a million, the disease is incredibly rare, reports Wales Online. Gemma had a full hysterectomy and underwent preventative chemotherapy, before entering into remission. However, she was then given the crushing news that her cancer had come back, around 18 months later in August 2016. She died aged just 39 on March 5 this year. Gemma's loving husband, James Muldoon, has now paid a heartfelt tribute in memory of his spouse, who he described as having "a zest for life". He said Gemma would be "incredibly proud" of their now 12-year-old daughter who is donating her hair and raising money for cancer charity Little Princess Trust despite her ordeal. The 41-year-old said: "Gem had always been very maternal and through that she was very selfless. "In life she always put her friends and family first and then when Ava was born she would always put Ava first, even when she was going through treatment. She wanted to fit that around Ava's first day at school. "As a couple we always put our friends and family at the centre of what we were doing. We were always very sociable, but what I and everyone loved about her the most was her selflessness. "She always cared for others and she was always at the end of the phone whenever her friends or family needed her and she was like that all the way through her){kind=link}
