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.
Little Karen's really ill
Went to the Royal Berks hospital today to visit "Little Karen". She's a friend who was diagnosed with Liver cancer in late December. She's been in hospital for the best part of 3 weeks now and she looked so frail when Julie and I went to visit. We only stopped for half an hour as she was so tired. She is still confident of coming out and was talking of spending a week at the Sue Ryder Home while a chair lift is fitted in her home as she can't walk at the moment.
