Story
Tracy is a loving mum, wife and young glamorous nanny to her grandson little Harry. She is also a great friend to many, she has supported me personally during a very tough year despite her own battle with cancer.
Tracy was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer nearly 2 years ago and, despite treatment, the cancer has, sadly, returned.
A clinic in Seattle, USA, has agreed to get tissue samples from Tracy so that her particular type of cancer can be identified. This is a new treatment being developed and it is not yet available to Tracy in the UK. In the future this procedure will hopefully benefit many other cancer sufferers as it is tested and refined.
Tracy will not need to go to America for the procedure but has to pay for the tests herself.
Please support us to raise enough money to help this amazing lady and to help develop better treatments for this horrible disease.
This is also done in loving memory of our Mum Brenda who lost her battle against cancer last year and who also loved Tracy.
Thank you for reading

8 years agoWe hope you will be happy for us to fund this procedure from your kind donations. Tracy has had more tests and there are more in store before NHS doctors decide on next steps. Tracy has been given the opportunity to see an ovarian cancer specialist in Glasgow thanks to the efforts of her dear friend Heidi who has managed to arrange this via her contacts in Seattle . We need to fly Tracy up there and for her to stay over , we hope to fund this from a quiz night which has been arranged for Feb 18th , sorry folks all full up , more events soon.

8 years agoHi , need to thank more kind donors , Margo and Marylyn, Glenys Keogh, Janet and Uncle Brian, Flavia ( big kisses from Tracy) Lisa, Tina Baker, Ollie Wells, Mike Bulbeck, Sue Anderton. Many of you will have seen Tracy's Facebook post already with an update on treatment but for those who have not ... Tracy needs some fluid called ascites drawn from her abdomen for testing in America but the NHS is not willing to fund this as 'it does not form part of her treatment' so we will need to pay for this to be done privately. need new page !
