Fiona, who has two brothers Lee and Dom and a half-sister Nikki, grew up in Ormesby and lived in Blackpool for some time before returning to Teesside.
Last year, she explained on a JustGiving page how her life had come ‘crashing down’ when she was told she had stage four throat cancer.
She wrote: ‘Worst moment of my life and it’s been the worst few months of my life.’
She had radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which she believed had been successful – but 12 weeks later, she said she felt ‘something wasn’t right.’
After getting in touch with her consultant, she was for a CT scan where she learnt her cancer had returned and spread to her tongue.
On June 16 last year, doctors gave her the devastating news that they believed she had six to 12 months to live.
She said: ‘In that meeting my world fell apart. Looking at my brothers and my mother’s face in pure shock broke me.
‘Never ever did I think it would come to this.’
She documented her journey on her TikTok where she has over 44,000 followers.

Before she passed away Fiona made a bucket list which included seeing Michael Bublé in concert and going back to Blackpool where she previously lived.
In a touching request, Fiona asked that after she died, her long, blonde hair be donated to the Little Princess Trust.
Her mother said she ‘fell apart’ after went into the funeral parlour to see her daughter after they had cute her hair to donate.
She said she hadn’t wanted her to donate her hair because she had ‘always had it.’
Jan said: ‘When I sat and thought about it – it’s her request and I wouldn’t go against that.
‘We’re so proud of her and she always wanted to help others.’
Jan said her daughter had a ‘heart of gold’ and revealed when they were sorting the drawers in her room she found a Mother’s Day gift from Fiona and a birthday card for her dad for July.
The local community even raised funds to send Fiona and her family on holiday to Lake Windermere with her three nephews Louis, Leo and Teddy.
Fiona, who planned her own funeral, also set up a Go Fund Me page, were she could raise donations for the Little Princess Trust.
