Southend Hospital Foundation are currently supporting the Dandelion Appeal, which is raising funds to support and enhance the end-of-life care provided at Southend Hospital – helping patients and their families find comfort, support and dignity in their final moments.

Story

‘Spotlight Radiotherapy appeal’

As a lot of you may know Lee battled cancer for four years having surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy & immunotherapy. Having radiotherapy to his neck and wearing an immobilising mask was challenging in itself. These new radiotherapy machines (SGRT) will change the future of radiotherapy.

We still miss Lee terribly especially his smile and hope to raise funds to help treatment for others going through the trauma of cancer.

Launched in February 2023, the new Spotlight Radiotherapy Appeal aims to raise £600,000 to fund ultra-precise, state-of-the art Radiotherapy equipment known as Surface Guided Radiation Treatment.

The new technology will revolutionise the way patients accross Mid Essex receive radiotherapy, bringing a host of benefits to patients in terms of comfort, speed and accuracy.
