Coronation Street fans were devastated when Sinead Tinker discovered a lump, with their worst fears confirmed that her cancer has come back.
Next week Sinead, played by Katie McGlynn, will be seen preparing for her final days after receiving the devastating diagnosis that the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and liver and she has only three or four months to live.
She arranges a visit to a hospice as she considers her options about where to spend to the last days of her life.
But her plans don't go down well with new husband Daniel Osbourne, who tells her that he wants to care for her at home.
Sinead assures him that any decision she makes about her death will be in the interests of Daniel and their baby Bertie.
But her illness starts taking its toll when she is sick after her chemotherapy session while Berie cries alone in his bedroom.
Beth express her worry that to Daniel that Sinead is too sick to look after Bertie.
The new mum is too weak to hold her son when she wakes up and Daniel tells her she should stop having chemo.
A stressed Sinead accuses him of wanting her to die sooner so he doesn't have to look after her.
As he rushes to work to escape the atmosphere at home, Sinead's hair falls out while Beth brushes it.
Regretting how she spoke to him, she later tells Daniel that she'll try one more round of chemo and if it makes her feel awful it'll be her last one.
To cheer him up she tells him to attend the Baileys' party, but Jenny later finds him drinking alone in the park.
She drags him to the party but he takes things a little too far and dances wildly.
As Michael tries to get him home he takes a swing at him, with things clearly getting too much.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
