'Gorgeous, incredible' woman, 32, dies just a week after devastating hospital trip

A "gorgeous' and "incredible" bride-to-be sadly lost her battle with cancer just one week after her devastating diagnosis.

"Incredible, kind-hearted and beautiful" Sabrina Mitchell was just 32 when she passed away on Saturday, her heartbroken fiancee said.

Just one week before her tragic passing, Sabrina was diagnosed with cancer of the abdomen and the womb, Norwich Live reports.

Doctors initially predicted she had another two years to live.

Sabrina had previously suffered from a kidney condition called IgA Nephropathy - which left her needing a transplant with the organ being provided by her mum, Dawn.

After the transplant, Sabrina was prescribed immune suppressants for life to keep her body stable after the transplant.

In 2020, Sabrina shielded due to her increased vulnerability to Covid but unfortunately, this didn't stop her catching it.

In August 2021, Sabrina suffered from the disease and at times "felt it was touch and go" as to whether she would come out the other side.

Last month, in February 2022, Sabrina received the devastating news that she had developed cancer in her abdomen and womb.

Doctors also told Sabrina that they would not be able to operate on her as this type of cancer is not fully curable, but said that she had one to two years to live.

On the evening of Saturday, February 26, Sabrina sadly lost her battle and died surrounded by her close family and her fiancée, Chloe Harding.

Chloe said: "She fought and fought and rapidly deteriorated, her kidney function failed and unfortunately her kidney failed her before anything else did.

"Sabrina took a rapid turn within hours and collapsed in my arms.

"She fell into cardiac arrest where they tried resuscitation on her for 25 minutes.

"Her parents and I held her hand for the last five minutes until they made the decision 'okay we’ll stop there' and they couldn’t continue.

"I’m absolutely broken."

A Go Fund Me page has been set up by Chloe, aged 23, in honour of Sabrina.

The page was originally intended to raise money to spend on Sabrina when she was out of hospital, but now all proceeds are going towards her funeral.

The couple met on TikTok and after a whirlwind romance, Chloe proposed to Sabrina in London surrounded by the city's stunning Christmas lights.

Chloe said: "Sabrina had a tattoo which read 'I refuse to sink' and I'm going to be getting the same one done to remember her by.

"Sabrina was and is the most incredible, kindhearted, gorgeous, thoughtful, loving, caring, beautiful human I know and I’m proud to call her my fiancée.

"This isn’t goodbye but it’s simply see you later.

"I look up to you daily and I know you’re looking down on me. I hope I can do you proud baby. I love you."
