Amother-of-two lost her battle with cancer aged 33 just days after giving birth and marrying the love of her life.Tracey Keers, 33, was forced to deliver daughter Kyla prematurely at 28 weeks after doctors found she had terminal cancer.She and her husband Steven, who also have a seven-year-old son called Kieran, got married at the end of March in James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.Tracey died in Mr Keers' arms on Sunday.The 35-year-old widower said his wife, who worked at Durham University, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016.She endured a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy before going into remission in July last year.Mr Keers, from Seaton Carew, said: 'We knew we wanted another baby, so we had IVF treatment and successfully had 13 eggs frozen.'But she fell pregnant naturally in September and we were absolutely elated because we didn’t think that would happen.' However the couple’s joy was short lived as Tracey began to have severe headaches and sickness.Twenty-four weeks into her pregnancy doctors broke the devastating news that Tracey’s cancer had returned and was terminal.Steven, who works for a games company, said: 'They gave her three to six months but, Tracey being Tracey, she never gave up and was always fighting.'

However, Tracey continued to deteriorate and on April 8 her breathing started to change.Steven said: 'I got up onto the bed and held Tracey in my arms with her head on my chest and she passed away peacefully.'When I had to tell Kieran it was the hardest thing in the world I have ever had to do, it was heartbreaking.' Steven and Tracey, who had been together ten years, knew each other as pupils at Brierton School in Hartlepool.Steven said: 'She was my best friend, we were always together.We didn’t go out much, we were happy at home, we were family people.'I slept by her bed at the hospital for four weeks because I didn’t want to leave her, so it is hitting my now I am home and it seems so so quiet.'
