Story
My name is Caroline Burns. I have a BRAIN TUMOUR the technical name for it is Anaplastic Astrocytoma-grade 4 Tumour. I was told that there was no more treatment available on the NHS for my condition.
I was diagnosed in 24th June 2013 when my boy Jack was only 9years old. I was going to the doctor for 14months with sore heads and got my scan and that's what showed that I had cancer in my brain at that moment the fight started.
I have had chemotherapy and also radiotherapy I also had a operations to take 70% of the tumour away. The size of the tumour to start with was the size of a tennis ball gives you a good idea of what was inside my head.
I was told on the 27th of March 2015 that I had only 3 to 6 months to live if chemotherapy worked 12months at a push.
After the 1st treatment of chemo I was told it hadn't worked there was nothing left for me to turn to.
After my husband and my dad done some research I came across -
:Cannabis oil (cbd)
Ldn
:sativex
All this costs in the region of £1500 per month
Up To this point I have spent just over £30,000 now I'm looking for some help to keep my fight going.
With this treatment I have been taking in the last 9months my tumour has started dropping in size and I have been told they can't stick a time on life expectancy because how positive the treatment has had on my body.
My boy needs me in his life so with this info I have started a donation page for help. We are proud people and this wasn't easy to do but I want to spend as much of my boys life with him as possible.
Please help us fight this

Well done today Caroline and Gary. Very articulate. Hope the publicity helps to raise awareness of the need for research and legàlisation of the benefits of medical cannabis.
