Graham Carey's Partner Rachel Borthwick Dies at 37 After Cancer Battle in India

Her family says a lack of remaining UK options led her to seek care in India.

Overview

  • Borthwick died in Delhi on Sunday, March 22, with her parents at her side after traveling for treatment.
  • Carey disclosed the news on Wednesday in a social media post, saying their children can take comfort that their mum is no longer in pain.
  • She was first diagnosed in September 2021 with triple‑negative breast cancer, and new tumours were found in March 2023 after earlier treatment made the disease undetectable.
  • Her sister said she chose CK Birla Hospital in Delhi after being told there were no further options in the UK, a path many face because triple‑negative breast cancer lacks targeted drugs.
  • Dunfermline Athletic, St Johnstone, Plymouth Argyle and Ross County issued condolences, reflecting support from clubs tied to Carey's career.
