A new mum has been told she has just months left to live after giving birth to her first child.
Sam Pearcey, 30, gave birth to daughter Arabella in September but was told just before Christmas that the cancer she had fought in 2012 had returned.
Sam, originally from Australia, met her husband Alex when he was travelling and the couple settled in Wales.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago and had one of her breasts removed which was followed by chemotherapy.
But last week, Sam was given the devastating news that the cancer has returned and was told last week that she now only has between two and six months to live.
Five friends, who were all best men at the couple’s wedding, are now raising money for a savings fund for Arabella’s future, Wales Online reports.

One of the best men, Daniel Harris, said: “Everyone in Wales feels so powerless to help so we decided to try and do something positive.
“We’ve raised just over £1,000 in 24 hours and we aim to raise £10,000 overall.
“We just want to show Sam how much we love her as well as doing something that leads to a positive result.”
Mark Price, Gareth Pinder, David Brunnock and Chippy Smith are working with Daniel to organise the fundraising events.

Daniel said: “The five best men and some family and friends are walking the Welsh Three Peaks on April 22, with the final peak being Pen y Fan.
“Other friends and family are meeting us for the final walk.
“We are also having a family BBQ event on April 23 and on March 16 we are hosting an event called EatSleeepFootyRepeat, which is a Welsh football panel event. It’s going to be held at the Urban Tap House in Cardiff.”
The friends are filming the walk, together with messages from Arabella’s family and friends in Wales, to show how much they care about Sam.
There are also many other fundraising events set to take place over the coming weeks.
They want to create something that Arabella can look back on and see cherished memories of her mother.
