Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a wife and mother of 3 young children, Matthew 13, Ellie 10 and Freddie 6. I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2001 at the age of 36. Following Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, I was in remission until a chance MRI scan in Feb 2005 for an unrelated problem, detected that the Cancer had returned. I was then diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer. The likely prognosis given in February was 18 months to 5 years. I then had to undergo aggressive Chemotherapy, but following the results of a recent bone scan, it was found that the Cancer is still spreading.
The treatment in Germany will cost thousands of pounds and for most people like myself, the opportunity for this is a dream. Many of my Family and Friends want to make this dream a reality and are making tremendous fund raising efforts, because without them, I would not be able to seek the treatment that I so obviously need and which is not being offered in this country.

Appointment with Oncologist. The bone scan results were not as good as I was expecting, especially as I have been feeling so good. The picture is slightly worse, ie there has been more disease progression. I feel as if all that suffering during the chemo has been for nothing but the Onc did say that I could have been looking at a worse picture than this if it were not for the chemo. I’m likely to be looking at more chemo later in the year and possibly a bone scan in 6-12 months. I’m gutted.
Everyone has now started saying that I must start looking into the German Clinic.
