Thank you for visiting my page.

As some of you may know I lost my Auntie and best friend Alisha just over a month ago to a rare and aggressive cancer- angiosarcoma of the liver and spleen. Angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive cancer which originates in the blood vessel cells.

A primary angiosarcoma of the spleen is an especially rare form, with fewer than 300 cases documented, while hepatic angiosarcoma (liver angiosarcoma) also occurs but is also very rare, with around 200 cases reported annually worldwide

Alisha was 35 years old, a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a best friend and more importantly a mother to a beautiful boy Oliver.

Alisha’s cancer story began when was just 2 years old and she was diagnosed with Wilms tumour, a rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children. Alisha had radio and chemo therapy and thankfully beat the cancer and became a survivor.

In October 2024 Alisha began experiencing pain in her shoulder. She went to the gp and A&E over the next few weeks and months as the pain continued to get worse. She had x rays and blood tests but they never found anything. In July 2025 she became very fatigued, was unable to stand for long periods of time, lost her appetite, the pain in her shoulder was still there and she had a pain in her tummy.

Alisha went to the GP again and was given a blood test. This time she received a phone call to ask she came in for the results. The GP explained her blood results were showing abnormalities and wanted to send her to the hospital to be checked. They initially thought she may have gallstones or something similar.

After waiting in the hospital for hours and having tests including an ultrasound on her liver she was sent home and told to attend her usual appointment the following week with her consultant. This appointment was part of her check ups due to the cancer as a child.

The following few days she became even more unwell and continued to decline. She decided to go to the hospital again and push for tests to be done. They explained she needed a CT scan which would not be available that day and to come back the following day. After the CT scan and more blood tests Alisha was admitted into hospital on the 21/07/2025 to undergo further testing. She remained in hospital until the 14/08/2025.

She had a biopsy taken on the 25/07/2025. The wait for the results was horrific. The team discussed what they believed was wrong and explained they think she has a type of cancer but they think they had caught it early enough that she could begin treatment as soon as possible and have a good outcome. Although this was not the news we hoped for we tried to remain in positive spirits and help Alisha feel better ready for treatment.

After 2 weeks of waiting, being told the biopsy may have gotten lost and results were inconclusive- the biopsy results finally came back.

On the 07/08/2025 Alisha was diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the liver and spleen. The doctors informed Alisha and our family that the cancer was a result of her cancer treatment as a child. Alisha was unfortunately a rare case and it was not what they initially thought it may be. She did not want to the know the prognosis and wanted to live everyday to her full, although extremely unwell she fought so hard and was so brave and strong.

Alisha sadly lost her battle in less than 2 weeks of her diagnosis on the 20/08/2025. Alisha was the most beautiful, kind and caring person. She was an amazing mother and touched the hearts of everyone she met. She had an infectious laugh, a smile that could light up the room and loved her family and put them first in everything she done, even until the end. She was the bravest person I know and so strong.

I wanted to start this page and raise awareness. Get Alisha’s story out there and remind you to live everyday like it’s your last, if you think something is wrong please advocate for yourself and push for it to be investigated. I am going to be raising money for the charity Sarcoma UK by completing in a challenge to do 10k steps a day through out October. I will document my progress through updates and on my social media accounts.

Please support me and donate and share this page. Any donation can make a big difference.

I’m supporting Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep our Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.
