Im April and 18 months ago my life was turned upside down when both my parents were diagnosed with terminal illnesses within a month of each other. My mum was diagnosed in August 2018 with stage 4 small cell cancer in the lung that spread to the brain and lymph nodes. And my dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease June 2018.

After 2 years of never ending fighting and pain my dad passed away at a young age of 54 on December 2nd 2019 to motor neurone disease. This has tore my family apart. Such a big part of us has just gone, life will never be the same without him, but he wouldn’t of wanted us to stop fighting for our mum to get the best life she can. My mum always had such a positive attitude in life and she alway passed that on to everyone around her.

About the treatment she needs.

My mum had gamma knife in December 2018 which has kept the tumours at bay on the brain.The cancer has spread too far to just be removed. But the treatment she is getting is immunotherapy and chemo which she was receiving privately through my dads work medical insurance, but since his passing there is no way to keep that going. The treatment is keeping the tumours small and stopping it from spreading any further! Unfortunately this type of immunotherapy isn’t available on the NHS as its an unlicensed drug. She needs this treatment to carry on living. To be here for me and my brother.

This money will change our lives. These donations will fund for the treatment to hopefully stop the cancers from spreading. Before my dad died he asked me and my brother to look after mum and to keep our family together. We never expected to lose him to such a cruel illness at such a young age. My mum never thought she would loose her husband to anything but old age. But he fought for everything. He taught me and my brother everything we know in life. And he loved my mum unconditionally. Just like we all do. So we need your help to keep our mum fighting.

Ive already lost my dad. I can’t lose my mum too.

Any donations unused will be donated to cancer research and motor neurone disease research.
