Hi Everyone,

As some of you will know, on 12th February 2019, Marie my beautiful partner, mother of our daughter Charlotte and now 'nanny' to our grandaughter Emilia, was diagnosed with stage 3b cancer. This devastating news rocked our world to the absolute core and the journey we’ve been on since that day has been a real challenge. Marie has endured major surgery, 18 weeks of gruelling chemotherapy and 31 consecutive days of radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Then at the beginning of October 2019 she was told that she had no signs of cancer and we finally felt that we could see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.

I wish we could say that she started to feel better and more like herself after the tough year she’d had, but she was exhausted, still in pain and experiencing what we thought were side effects of the treatment, all of which steadily got worse over the following months. Then on 12th May 2020 we were devastated to be told that the cancer had returned and had also spread to her lungs. Again our world was to be turned upside down. Having to go through all of this once is scary and life changing enough, but to learn that she is going to have to go through it all again is absolutely heart-breaking.

After the diagnosis of secondary cancer, her medical team have decided against surgery so she will be starting chemotherapy sessions very soon, but we want to tackle this with more than just the conventional treatment available through our NHS. We want try several other options that are available to us, in the hope that the tumours shrink into remission and it will be finally gone for good this time.

our plan is for her to consult with a specialist oncology clinic on Harley Street, London, for extra consultations and additional prescription medications that have been shown in some clinical trials to slow the growth and the spread of tumours. We are also exploring other treatment procedures that include CBD oil and a finely tailored nutrition plan. This multifaceted approach obviously adds up to a lot of money, money that we simply don’t have, so I’m appealing for literally anything you can kindly spare.

All the donations will be going towards Marie's treatment in the hope that the combination helps to slow down the growth and spread of the tumours and maybe even get her into remission again and allow her to continue living the healthy life that she deserves.

My family and I will be forever grateful for your help and generosity 🙏🏻

Thank you
