 They Were Meant to Be Flying Home - Man Fighting Lung Cancer Is Stranded Abroad After Suffering a Stroke While on Vacation


What was supposed to be a few peaceful weeks by the sea has become a medical nightmare thousands of miles from home.


Wayne Muress, 66, from England, is hospitalized in India after suffering a stroke while on vacation with his wife, Maggie. 


The couple had traveled to Goa for a three week break, hoping for rest and time together before returning home. Instead, they now find themselves navigating a health crisis in a foreign country.


Wayne has been living with lung cancer for six years, a diagnosis that ended his career as a fisherman and reshaped daily life for the couple. 


According to his relative, Sam Pigget, who spoke to The Mirror, Wayne and Maggie have focused on making the most of their time together, determined to enjoy life despite ongoing treatments and uncertainty.


On the morning of Feb. 12, just two days before their scheduled flight back to the U.K., Maggie noticed something alarming while they were on a beach in Goa. 


One of Wayne’s legs began shaking, and one side of his face started to droop. Maggie, familiar with the signs of his cancer related breathing struggles, immediately understood this was something different and serious.


Wayne was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed he had suffered a stroke.


Sam described the shock of the moment, saying the family felt gutted that it happened so close to their return date. 


After years of managing cancer with periods of encouraging updates, this sudden emergency has been another heavy blow. 


Wayne and Maggie have been together for three decades, rarely apart, and Sam said Maggie is devastated watching her husband face yet another health battle.


In an update shared through a GoFundMe page created to support the couple, Sam explained that Wayne experienced seizures and was placed in a medically induced coma. He has also undergone a tracheotomy as part of his treatment.


The financial strain has added to the emotional toll. 


Because of his preexisting cancer diagnosis, Wayne did not have travel insurance, which the family said was prohibitively expensive. 


His initial hospital bill has already surpassed $8,000, and ongoing care is estimated to cost around $1,800 per day.
