However Warren discovered that he had several tumours on both lungs and his prostate.
The distraught couple were unable to fly home after the airline demanded a fit-to-fly certificate.
Warren was diagnosed with stage four advanced prostate cancer.
A GoFundMe page was launched in a bid to cover medical expenses.
The online fundraiser reads: 'Our dream holiday turned into a nightmare.
"In Mexico, the love of my life and father to our one-year-old son, unfortunately, ended up very unwell.
"But we wanted to make the holiday special for our little boy.
"We spent $4000 on CT-Scan and other tests and found out there were several tumours on both lungs.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't fly home early as a fit-to-fly was required, and we couldn't get one as the Mexican hospital didn't let him fly.
"We had to stay in Mexico, with my partner suffering in pain for ten days and not knowing if he would make it back home.
We had to launch Mission Impossible-style hospital escape to bring my boy home to die – I won't get over the trauma
"We then safely arrived home after a long 10 hour flight home with two doctors on the flight helping us and helping my fiancée to get to land safely."
Upon arrival in Scotland, the dad was rushed to A&E, where several tests were carried out.
Warren was then given the bombshell news that the stage four advanced prostate cancer had spread to the lungs.
The fundraiser continues: "We are currently awaiting chemotherapy.

"It isn't easy, but we want to spend it as a family as long as we can.
"I have decided to do this fundraiser to raise money for my fiancée to get the care he requires whilst on chemotherapy and then being at home and requiring further treatment."
The money raised will also go towards a private nurse to allow Warren to receive care in the comfort of his own home.
Dominika said: "[I want to] make sure that my fiancée is in safe hands."

Mother left fighting for life after Tenerife hotel accident caused by mosquito bite
A mother is fighting for her life after plummeting down hotel stairs and hitting her head - after an infection from mosquito bites made her faint. Emma Hickey and her partner Stephen Brougham took their two children to Costa Adeje, Tenerife, Spain, on June 13th for a sun-soaked 12-day getaway. But just 10 days into the trip, the mother-of-two woke up with a 'really bad case' of mosquito bites so went to hospital and was prescribed injections. Despite feeling unwell for the next few days the 42-year-old carer 'soldiered through the holiday' for the sake of her family. But as they walked down the hotel staircase on their way to a pharmacy on June 23, Ms Hickey complained of feeling dizzy before suddenly collapsing and falling head-first onto a concrete step. Mr Brougham, 44, says it was 'horrific' to watch his partner convulsing on the concrete steps after passing out and she was immediately rushed to hospital. A hospital CT scan revealed she had a brain bleed and neck fractures so she was put in an induced coma. Now a friend of the family has set up a GoFundMe page to support plasterer Mr Brougham and the two children, aged seven and 13, while they are stranded in Tenerife waiting for Ms Hickey to recover. He says it could be 'a very long time' until his partner is well enough to fly home and he is unsure if the travel insurance will cover the soaring medical costs. Mr Brougham, from Dublin, Ireland, said: 'We came away for a lovely family holiday and it's been a living nightmare. 'She was feeling a bit dizzy and she collapsed and fell from the second last step of the upper staircase down below onto the other set of stairs head-first without raising her arm to protect herself. 'She passed out on the steps and started convulsing, she was in a terrible state. 'It's been horrific because I actually witnessed the fall and how bad the fall was. That's a mental scar that I'll never forget. Words can't describe how bad it is.' Mr Brougham called an ambulance, which rushed his partner to hospital and a CT scan revealed she had suffered a brain bleed and needed an operation. Doctors discovered some fractures in her neck and she was then put in an induced coma and will remain in intensive care until she wakes up. Mr Brougham said: 'They did an operation and there were blood clots on the brain that had been putting some pressure on the brain. 'They're not saying what impact the pressure on the brain of the blood clot will have after she comes round. 'There could be secondary issues there so in the meantime she's just been on the machine. Mr Brougham, who is self-employed, and is searching for alternative accommodation for him and children Sophie Hickey, 13, and Bobby Hickey, seven 'She hasn't felt well all week so we can only presume that the mosquito bites, the medication, the heat and the fact she tried to soldier through the holiday just for the sake of the kids [caused it]. 'They were draining the life out of her and they're all over her body, dozens and dozens. 'They looked uncomfortable and you could see that they were sore. They turned into bruises. I can only connect the two.' Mr Brougham, who is self-employed, and is searching for alternative accommodation for him and children Sophie Hickey, 13, and Bobby Hickey, seven. He is hoping the travel insurance will help the rising medical costs after reviewing her medical records. Mr Brougham said: 'We have got health insurance but at the moment they're making us jump a few hoops just before they commit to whether they're covering us or not. 'We know that hospital is $1,400 a day so we're going to have a significant medical bill. 'The hotel we're staying in at the moment is an expensive hotel. Then just feeding the kids and keeping them occupied. I'm not working now because I'm over here. 'The support has been overwhelming and incredible. We're lucky to have friends and family like that. '[The fundraiser] is very important because it's going to be a long process. We don't know how long yet. It could be a very long time that we're over here with her until she's in a position to fly home. 'We need to be over here by her side and we don't want to go anywhere without her.' He's now encouraging others to ensure they get travel insurance and to be aware of the dangers of insects abroad. Mr Brougham said: 'It's not something we ever considered how bad a bite could be. It's amazing how much pain a little tiny insect can have on you. 'We wouldn't have considered [repellent]. We weren't aware of the mosquito bites. 'We go away all the time and it's not something to be worried about. You definitely need to be aware what sort of effect these insects can have on you. 'It's important to have travel insurance. The hospital won't do much if you haven't got it. Try to get a good policy.'

Scots warned as ‘Dracula' horseflies with ‘most painful bite' worse than MIDGES on the rise
A bite from these silent bloodsuckers is often extremely painful STAY SAFE Scots warned as 'Dracula' horseflies with 'most painful bite' worse than MIDGES on the rise DRACULA horseflies with 'excruciating' bites are on the rise as temperatures soar in Scotland. The flying vampire bugs can bite through clothes, tear through flesh and even fend off repellents. Advertisement 1 A bite from a horsefly is often extremely painful and likely to be red and itchy Wounds inflicted by horseflies might not even be fully treatable with current antibiotics. Their painful bites can also spread harmful infections like cellulitis, which can trigger sepsis. A bite from these silent bloodsuckers is often extremely painful, much more so than that of a tick or a midge. Symptoms include redness, itchiness and minor swelling around the bite site. Advertisement However, bites can also trigger more serious symptoms like dizziness and weakness, shortness of breath, painful rashes or itchy pale pink skind around the eyes and lips. Allergy sufferers are also at risk of experiencing anaphylaxis from insect bites. And in some rare cases, horseflies can even pass on a bacterial infection called tularemia or 'rabbit fever' through their bite. Horseflies have large eyes with blade-like mouths. Advertisement The female bloodsuckers rely on the high protein levels in blood to make eggs. They are often found near large bodies of water and in Mediterranean countries, but this summer's hot weather and occasional downpours have lured them over to the UK. Stuff of nightmares' as thousands of midges form 'insect tornado' in skin-crawling video What does a horsefly bite look like? If bitten by a horsefly, you will notice your skin turning red, becoming itchy and sometimes seeing raised bumps. It will be very painful, and a raised rash could also be visible. Advertisement It will be obvious you have been bitten almost immediately due to the pain, and the red, itchy and swollen bumps developing within minutes of being bitten. How to treat bites If bitten, it is important to cleanse the area immediately. You can use an antiseptic spray or wash with clean, warm water and soap to lower infection risk. To treat at home, the NHS recommends you: Advertisement put an ice pack wrapped in a cloth or a clean cloth soaked in cold water on the bite or sting for at least 20 minutes, if it's swollen keep the area raised if you can take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if the sting is painful use antihistamines to relieve any itching use a hydrocortisone cream to reduce itching and swelling You can speak to pharmacist for advice too. Whatever you do, do not scratch it, or use homemade remedies on it. A horsefly bite will usually heal on its own, but there are some warning signs indicating it has become worse and you may need to see your GP. According to Healthline, this can include noticing a foul odour or seeing excessive puss coming from the bite. Advertisement The health site added that if experiencing 'difficulty breathing, a rash that spreads or worsening pain, you should seek medical attention'.

One in five Brits risk irreversible conditions because they're ‘too busy' to look after their own health
Find out the top 20 things adults have missed or not done due to lack of time below TIME POOR One in five Brits risk irreversible conditions because they're 'too busy' to look after their own health Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) One in five Brits claim they are too busy to look after their own health – with many skipping eye checks, dental appointments and GP visits. A poll of 2,000 adults found 73 per cent have missed or delayed a health appointment of some kind. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Work commitments and childcare duties are other reasons people miss appointments Credit: Getty Of those, 18 per cent have put off booking an eye check, while 14 per cent have skipped things like blood pressure tests – all thanks to hectic schedules. Work commitments (33 per cent), childcare duties (11 per cent), and stress over the admin or hassle (12 per cent) were among other reasons people have missed out. The research was commissioned by Specsavers as part of Glaucoma Awareness Week, to shine a spotlight on the condition often dubbed the 'silent thief of sight'. A spokesperson said: 'When you feel like there's nothing wrong, it's all too easy to push check-ups to the bottom of your to-do list. 'Life gets hectic, and we all have a lot on our plates, but your health, including your eyesight, should never be left on the back burner. 'Glaucoma can develop slowly over time without any obvious symptoms, meaning many people don't realise there's a problem until irreversible damage has already been done. 'That's why regular eye check-ups are so important – they're not just about examining your vision, they're a vital part of catching conditions like glaucoma early. 'It's also why you shouldn't wait to book these only when you see symptoms – but make sure you go regularly and it could help you in the long run.' The research revealed other areas adults skip over because they've been short of time included getting a full night's sleep (31 per cent) or drinking enough water (27 per cent). While 22 per cent have been so locked-in at work they've not taken a decent screen break or moved around enough to get out of their seat. The major symptoms of 'common cancer' as HSE say 'know the signs' But 34 per cent admitted a health scare or definite symptom would motivate them to book a check-up they had been putting off. Of those who don't prioritise their own health, 28 per cent put their children's needs first, while 19 per cent confess they put housework at the top of the priorities list. Although 42 per cent think easier booking systems would help them make their own health more of a focus. While 29 per cent simply need more time in the day, according to the figures. But 32 per cent believe health check-ups are more and more important as you get older, while 18 per cent confessed they know the need for them, they're just too easy to forget. Specsavers' spokesperson added: 'It's easy to let health checks slide when you're juggling a busy schedule, but looking after your eyesight is something you simply can't afford to ignore. 'A quick and simple eye check every couple of years - or more often if you're at higher risk - could protect you from serious long-term consequences. 'Your vision is one of your most precious senses, and it deserves your attention.' TOP 20 THINGS ADULTS HAVE MISSED OR NOT DONE DUE TO LACK OF TIME 1. A full night's sleep 2. Drinking enough water 3. Going for a walk outdoors 4. Meal prepping healthy food 5. Taking breaks from screens or sitting for long periods 6. Getting a proper breakfast 7. Booking a dental check-up 8. Stretching or mobility exercises 9. A gym session 10. Booking an eye test 11. Meditation or mindfulness practice 12. Booking a GP appointment 13. Trying a fitness class or PT session 14. Booking a health screening (e.g. smear test, blood pressure check) 15. Having a skin check or mole check 16. Getting a hearing test 17. Doing a breast or testicular self-exam 18. Attending a therapy or counselling session 19. Downloading a health tracker app 20. Signing up to a GP
