Story
We all unfortunately know someone who has been through cancer, but when it is someone within your family or like ourselves, our mum, whom we adore, love and appreciate, hearing that C word is soul destroying! Our mum has been there all our lives, she has been our biggest support system and now at the ages of 18 and 19 we are now old enough to return the support and dedication she gave us so lovingly back by doing everything we can to help get any treatment we can to ensure our mum is around to live a long and cancer free life.
Let us tell you about the first time our mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, we were 12 and 13 years old, too young to have a complete understanding of what she was about to go through. Our strong single mum who held our little family together quickly fell apart before our eyes. We watched helplessly while she went through chemotherapy, loosing her hair and all of her ability to do her daily routines.
After 1 whole long year mum was free of cancer and for 6 years lived a healthy lifestyle. But in the past 12 months mum developed a persistent cough, and after numerous doctor appointments and repeatedly being told it was nothing to be worried about they could not be further from the truth.
Most recently she had a heart scan and was admitted to hospital . After further examinations and scans we was told the devastating news that the cancer was back and has spread into her lungs and spine and it is incurable. At this point our world fell apart for the second time!
My mum was told she would need chemotherapy and radiation again as soon as possible. We have explored all avenues of NHS treatments and also alternative treatments, which leads us to setting up this fundraising page to hopefully raise enough funding to provide our mum with the best chance of recovery.
For every penny donated we would be entirely grateful.
Her daughters, Shannon and Charlotte and her granddaughter, Amelia xx
