Neighbours of Theresa Wasik raised money to send her back home to die

Prayers have been said at the Polish church in Bristol for a woman who died on Saturday from terminal cancer just days after flying back to Poland.

Theresa Wasik, 34, had been working in Wiltshire and received treatment for cervical cancer at the Royal United Hospital in Bath.

Her flight from Bristol on Thursday was paid for by members of the public.

Jay Jay Martin, of the Central and East European Information Service, confirmed Ms Wasik had died.

She had been flown home so she could be with her family before she died from the disease.
