Watch Victoria Lampard's story about the Brooker brothers' documentary here
Two brothers from Suffolk who filmed some of their father’s last moments, are putting together a documentary to help others facing a similar diagnosis.
John Brooker who lived near Sudbury, had been living with bowel cancer for 16 years. In 2018 he was told it was incurable and gave his sons his blessing to film his journey right up until the end. Marcus and Robin Brooker set out to put together a personal and honest account of their father and their family went through.

John died in May 2020 at the age of 75. The brothers are now working closely with Cambridge-based Cancer Research UK. They hope to raise awareness at a time when funding has dropped dramatically due to covid-19.
