By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 17:36 EST, 2 February 2014 | UPDATED: 17:36 EST, 2 February 2014 When Aly Femia asked doctors when she should get married so her sick mother could be there for the big day, they answered: 'Tomorrow.' So she did. Aly’s mom, Mary Quinn, had gone to check up on a pain she felt in her neck less than two weeks ago. Little did anyone expect the diagnosis to come back as lung cancer, which had spread to her brain. After initially hoping there were treatment options, Mary and her family were told her condition was incurable, according to BuzzFeed.
