Story
Bone cancer took my leg. Now breast cancer's having a go at my boob. And I'm not even 40 yet.
I'd really like to make it to that milestone and beyond, to spend more time with my gorgeous children (and hubby, he's alright too ;-) so I'll be going through chemotherapy over the next six months. Again.
Chemo can be a pretty isolating experience, but there is something you can do to help... donate some of your hard-earned cash to help pay for research into bone cancer.
It may seem odd to be supporting the Bone Cancer Research Trust, when my current cancer is breast cancer, but breast cancer is relatively common and attracts donations more readily. And I've seen the difference that money can make - into tailored chemotherapy regimes (still with nasty side effects, mind) rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
But treatment for bone cancer - which affects mainly children and teenagers - hasn't changed much in 20 years.
It would mean so much to me, as I go through treatment, to be able to raise even a small sum of money towards research into more effective, kinder treatments for this horrible disease.
Thank you,
