Dunfermline Player Graham Carey 'Heartbroken' After Death of Partner
Rachel Borthwick died after a 4.5-year fight with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer, seeking treatment in India due to limited UK options, leaving behind two children.
- On Sunday, March 22, Rachel Borthwick, partner of Scottish footballer Graham Carey, died at age 37 at CK Birla Hospital in Delhi, India, following a four-and-a-half-year battle with triple-negative breast cancer.
- After her cancer returned in March 2023, Borthwick traveled to India for treatment, believing no further medical options remained available to her in the UK.
- Initially diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer in September 2021, the mother-of-two fought an aggressive illness that briefly became undetectable before tumours were later discovered.
- Carey announced the tragic news on Wednesday, prompting condolences from Dunfermline Athletic and former club Plymouth Argyle, who expressed their deepest sympathies to his family.
- In an emotional social media tribute, Carey wrote, "No words can describe the pain," while Borthwick's sister Sarah described how Rachel mounted a "brave and relentless battle" for more than four years.
