Story
This is written by my cousin
My name is Tracy Lucas, age 50 and I live in Grays, Essex. I live with my partner Raj and my youngest son, he is 11 years old. My 2 older boys also live in Grays Thurrock area.
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer in August 2015. I had no signs of being unwell, apart from a short period of time thinking I had pulled a muscle in my side!
This diagnosis was the most devastating news that anyone could receive, my world crumbled. I could never have dreamed that this was why my side was a little uncomfortable. The cancer was partially blocking my large intestine and had spread to my Liver. The hospital in Southend initially told me they were looking at a cure for me, but after just a couple of weeks I was then informed that I was incurable, another terrifying beyond belief bad blow, how can this be happening to me!? I had to pull myself together and be as positive as possible to beat this cancer, as new treatments are coming up all the time and I am a strong person, with as much to live for as anyone.
I started Chemotherapy in October 2015.
It was in early December that Southend Oncology Unit told me yet again the devasting news that the chemotherapy was going to stop as it was causing me more harm than the benefits it was bringing. In fact, I was told that there was nothing else they could offer me and that I should basically go home to die with palliative care.
We have been researching high and low to find a reliable trustworthy alternative to chemotherapy. We have discovered a cutting edge private treatment called “Immunotherapy”. This treatment is not currently being used in the UK for my particular condition, so this gives me the greatest hope for an improvement or cure to my disease. The clinic we have found is the Hallwang Clinic in Stuttgart Germany. This seems to be one of the best clinics in the world for pioneering immunotherapy work.
Please, please, please can everyone continue to support me, fundraise and donate
