In December 2014, I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which had spread to my lung and bones. My oncologist informed me that the average survival time would be between 2-4 years. They offered me chemotherapy as a way of delaying, what they consider to be, the inevitable. I refused this form of treatment and embarked on a journey of research and discovery, believing and hoping that there must be another way.

Thus far I have undertaken a whole raft of ‘alternative’ and ‘integrative’ therapies and whilst this path has brought me much healing, emotionally and spiritually, it has not provided the physical wellness I had hoped for. Unfortunately, the cancer has spread to my liver and time really is now of the essence. It feels the right time to get specialist help and, after much research and consideration, the Hallwang Clinic in Germany is the clinic I believe to have the most comprehensive and cutting edge treatments. Based on an analysis of my specific cancer, they will create a tailor-made treatment protocol, which will offer the best results for me.

I cannot thank people enough for their generosity, time, compassion and support over the last 18 months. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful support from my family and friends and to have met all the incredibly courageous people along this journey who have also pursued their own paths of healing.

I hope to become well, not only for myself and for my family but so I can share my story more fully.

The smallest amount you are able to donate would help significantly. Or, if there is any event you may wish to organise, please do.

A short-term solution is being sought to secure funding, however the fundraising will continue in order to repay the money borrowed.
