Hello, firstly I want to say thank you for coming here to read my story and hopefully share my pledge on your pages. My name to everyone is Zoe, for two beautiful little girls my name is Mummy. I am 28 years old, my children are both under 5 and I have stage 4 cancer...The reason I've done this page is because I am trying so desperately to live for as long as possible for my beautiful children. I can't give up, I have to fight because I don't want to fail my beautiful girls.

At this stage I don't think getting better will happen and I am trying to make as many memories as possible for my girls, I've been writing books for them, writing poems, making memory boxes and videos, never in my life did I think at 28 years old I'd be doing something like this...I have a very rare, aggressive cancer called mucosal melanoma which most people have never heard of. Advanced mucosal melanoma has very little treatment options and overall poor prognosis. Which sadly leaves me with such limited treatment options now that my cancer has advanced to stage 4. However, privately there are so many more options available to me, right now I have no cancer at all in my organs, only my lymph nodes and local recurrence.

I've already shown I am a young mother with two beautiful little girls, I am also a wife to a wonderful husband who I have spent over half my life with, I have been moved over to hospice care at home now and I desperately want a second chance to change that, I am under the care of the very hospice who cared for my own mum who fought cancer and sadly lost her life when I was only 15. Due to the fear of being in this position with my own children after my diagnosis I decided to seek all avenues, I spent weeks if not months studying this cancer and treatment options, I flew to Germany to have the chance to meet with Richard D Carvajal an oncologist from America, after hours of looking online for help or consultants/doctors who knew and had studied Mucosal Melanoma I came across another incredible doctor who works privately for Harley Street at the LOC treating Mucosal patients. With his support I've had genetic testing and sensitivity testing, a test that's not available on the NHS and I was so lucky to have access too, the test shows exactly what treatments they can provide me with and show which will have good response rates. These drugs can help me if I can fund them! I responded really well with two of the drugs, one of them my cancer was extremely sensitive too and killed the cells! I NEED this drug but cannot afford it.

I have been known as ‘the girl with cancer’ but before cancer, I am a Zoe and I have my babies who mean everything to me, I absolutely adore my children and I love being ‘Mummy’. I have SO MUCH to live for and my world has been turned upside down with a cancer diagnosis. I am raising money to pay for the private treatment to try and prolong my life. I am extremely embarrassed to rely on help from others but right now I am so desperate to stay alive I will do anything!

I’m not even 30 years old and at this age, if I died now my children aren’t old enough to even remember me...I’m so desperate to change that, I want to live...I don’t want to die. There are drugs out there that will prolong my life and give me more time to continue enjoying being a mother, continue enjoying being a wife and continue making memories with my beautiful little family, not only that but it will help me be more comfortable..The only one thing standing between this is money, which is devestating.

I have a fundraising page with lots of events going on which all sadly had to be cancelled due to the corona virus. I now am fundraising online from home to try raise as much as I can. I have spent the last 12 years enjoying my life with my husband and then came along our beautiful girls, since then we’ve become a happy family, enjoying our lives together and I want to continue that for as long as I possibly can!

Please donate if you can, if you can’t donate please do share. I’m so grateful to all the support, kind words, shares and donations xxx
