Story
My daughter, 32 was diagnosed in May 2015 with advanced, Stage 4 Bowel cancer. This was caught very late in the day, at the point that Sally's bowel was fully obstructed by the tumour and had been for around 10 days.
This is all despite Sally's 12 visits to the doctors in the past 3-4 years complaining of left sided (tumour site) abdominal pain.
Sally had emergency surgery to remove the bowel tumour and a foot of her bowel, is left with a stoma and then discovered that the cancer was not curable, and had spread to her liver and both lungs. This came as a massive blow to us all, including Sally's 4 young children age 11, 10, 5 and 2.
Sally was then put onto intensive chemotherapy to which she responded well initially but still tumours remained throughout. After doing our own research we found other possibilities such as ablation, NanoKnife, CyberKnife and others, however these are not NHS funded for Stage 4 patients.
We have recently found more lesions in Sally's lungs and liver and are also now looking to fund immunotherapy - unfortunately this is also not NHS funded and we are looking at a cost of around £120,000 at the Hallwang clinic in Germany. This treatment has shown some amazing results!
We have also consulted with Patricia Peat and are now undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment, Infra-red saunas, supplement regimens and ketogenic diet. We also have some clinic trial possibilities however this means travelling to Oxford and London along with expert consultations.
Unfortunately this all comes at quite a high cost.
Any help and support you can offer is amazing, any fundraising ideas would also be great, Anything anybody can give to help Sally get more time with her family - no gift is too small, whether funds, ideas or help.
We are all so grateful for the help we've had to date and are eternally grateful to all that can help, donate, share and also, purely for reading this.
Thank you all so much, Michele xxx
