Young mum with terminal cancer desperately struggles to find a home as landlords 'won't accept her'

A young mum who is battling cancer is struggling to find somewhere to live after landlords keep rejecting her. Delilah May, 27, wants to move somewhere closer to her family after being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.

Despite having a 'lovely home' in Lancashire, Delilah is desperate to be around her loved ones whilst her illness worsens for the sake of her three-year-old son, but is having a hard time finding anywhere to rent as landlords 'won't accept her' for a new tenancy.

The mum-of-one began experiencing bloating and pains in March last year, which she initially put down to an IBS flare-up. But as her symptoms began to worsen and she found it more difficult to play with her son Jake, she took herself to the hospital where she was later diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer.

"I've had bloating throughout my whole adult life so I thought it was just IBS or something but it would not go away. Then I was getting pains in my back and sharp pains in my abdomen which was stopping me from being a mum," Delilah told LancsLive.

"I couldn't go on the floor and play with my son and do things with him. Then one day at work my boss asked if I was okay and I just burst out crying and he sent me home and I went to see a doctor. I was in tears and begging for help and just sent me home with painkillers."

After the shock diagnosis, the young mum wanted to move away from Skelmersdale to be closer to her relatives who live near Jake's nursery seven miles away in Ormskirk and Burscough.

But this has proven harder than expected, with Delilah unable to get a tenancy whilst her illness worsens.
