His family has said that the 39-year-old "didn't lose the fight" against cancer as he put up the "courageous battle" even in the darkest of days. The family will now use the money they had been fundraising to bring him home.In a post on their Care For Cormac Facebook page, the family shared how proud they were of Cormac for his positive outlook despite what life had thrown at him.
"His initial good progress just wasn’t to last. His body had battled so hard for the last 18 months and it took its toll. Cormac just wasn’t strong or stable enough in the end to fly home. "We are eternally grateful for all your financial support so that Cormac had the chance to access the trial and other treatment options approved in America, in one of the best cancer hospitals in the world. He said he always wanted to “try everything” and fight this as hard as he could."
