Couple with terminal cancer put chemotherapy on hold to get married after 22 year engagement

A couple with terminal cancer have put their chemotherapy on hold - to get married. Barrie Ackland and Suzanne Bowditch decided to tie the knot after 22 years of engagement when they both learned they had cancer just days apart.

The pair, both 60, received the dreadful news in July - with Suzanne finding out she had lung cancer a week before Barrie was diagnosed with asbestos-related mesothelioma.While Barrie was told he had just five months to live, Suzanne opted not to know how long she had left - but they realised their time to tie the knot was running out.
