Jayne Jubb from March is passionate about animals. Along with her husband Alan, she takes in and cares for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, birds, raccoons, fish and snakes. Jayne is absolutely devoted to her animals, many of whom are sick, or came from rescue centres. In 2007 Jayne was diagnosed with lung cancer and was told she had between 18 months and three years to live. Devastated by the news, one of Jayne's main worries was "what's going to happen to the animals when I die?"  Jayne's animals are so important to her that she decided to get them tattoo'd on her body. She says "when I go, my animals can come with me". Jayne has now stopped treatment for the cancer and is just on pain relief. She says "you just feel like you're sat here waiting to die, like you're in limbo." But it's the love for her animals that keeps Jayne strong, even though she is worried about leaving them; "I just feel sorry that I can't be here for them... I'm scared. Not of dying, of leaving these." Help playing audio/video last updated: 17/03/2009 at 14:36 SEE ALSOYou are in: Cambridgeshire > People > Your Stories > Now I can take them with me...
