    Weʼve raised £380 to Help mum go on a break after cancer operation

    Story

    Mum, Stephanie, has just learnt that she has advanced stage throat cancer. The only chance for survival is to have a huge operation that involves removing her voice box. The one thing mum loves to do is talk.

    The news is devastating, but mum has taken it amazingly well. In her words, “I still have my arms,legs, and sight, so it could be worse.”

    We met a woman who has had the operation and she was an inspiration to say the least. She gave advice on how to cope with the immediate effects of the operation, and how to get help afterwards. It’s going to be a long road. Day by day is the battle plan. Mum is stubborn and will beat this.

    The operation took place on 2nd August, and from a surgeon’smperspective went well. However there have been side effects which we did not consider. She lost her hearing in her right ear, and she cannot eat food through her mouth anymore, it has to be through a tube into her lower bowel. Her physical state is considered too weak to have the chemotherapy or the radiotherapy. The speech therapists say that she will probably not be able to speak again without typing it first.

    Despite these set backs she is keeping her mind active with reading and hopes to go on a trip with a friend. This is the goal we are trying to raise for, a nice break to look forward to after 4 months in hospital. This will give her something to work towards.
