Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page.

Just before Christmas we were given the devastating news that my son (Becky’s brother) has Stage 3 Head and Neck Malignant Melanoma.

In early February he underwent a 5 hour neck dissection operation and was then to start 12 months of targeted Chemotherapy. MRI and CT scans in preparation for this therapy in late March then revealed another malignant melanoma.

More surgery is scheduled for early May then another MRI and CT scan before therapy can begin.

My son is 38 and has learning disabilities and is on the autistic spectrum, so the whole process has been unbelievably hard and at times unbearably challenging.

My son has never smoked, doesn’t drink, and doesn’t like the sun so never sunbathes. We as a family have had our whole world emotionally shattered beyond measure.

No parent should ever have to go through this.

But the care we, and especially my son, have received from Addenbrooke’s Hospital has been excellent. From the surgeons, skin cancer nurse specialist’s, healthcare workers, porters and absolutely everyone else involved.

Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust are currently trying to raise £45,000 to help continue this level of care in there Cancer Services.

Addenbrooke’s already provides world leading, ground-breaking diagnosis, treatment and research into cancer but the need is enormous.

By trying to raise £1,000 towards this target is my way of saying thank you. So please if you can, make a donation however small. Myself and Addenbrooke’s Cancer Services will be extremely grateful.

Remember, one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime.

Thankyou.
