Story
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2024. You never think this will happen to you....so when it does its a real shock. I have been blessed with extremely fast care and treatment.
I am using the mobile chemotherapy unit based in Cinderford and this has made such a difference to me, not just in the time I save not having to travel to Cheltenham but the whole atmosphere is very different. The nurses are just as nice as in the hospital but the bus is small, intimate and relaxed making treatment a pleasure not a chore (if that makes sense). This service is amazing!! I am fundraising for this charity so others can benefit in the future just like I am now.
This charity have built these mobile units on donations from supporters. The Government provide no funding for this service, we need to raise funds so they can continue to provide chemotherapy treatment closer to home.
NB: info from the charity;
Cancer treatment causes sheer fatigue, it’s like someone has taken your batteries out. When you’re faced with a cancer diagnosis, time is crucial. How can people spend more time doing the things they love, with those they love, whilst still getting the life-saving treatment they need?
Hope for Tomorrow build and maintain mobile cancer care units, which change the lives of thousands of people suffering from cancer in England.
Myself and my mum are planning fundraising events for the next 12 months to raise as much as we can, raising awareness for the charity & having fun along the way. we need to make the most of each day!
We hope you can help us and others on this journey
