The “Dawn Hughes Wigs to Wishes Fund” has been set up to enable me to receive further treatment at an Oncology Clinic in Germany where they have had a high success rate in stopping the spread of Cancer in patients and giving them the best possible chance of remission. The Berkshire Cancer Centre have informed me that there is little chance of my Cancer going into remission with the treatment available in this country.

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.

MRI Scan appointment

Had the letter through this morning with my appointment for 1st October! 5 weeks from when Dr Barrett suggested the scan, some urgency!

As my armpit isn't healing particuarly well, (it's been 13 weeks now since I was admitted to hospital!), I've started on another course of antibiotics last Friday. Today, I've had to stop taking them. I feel so sick I don't know what to do with myself and my breathing is even worse than last week. I'm sure it's the erythromycin tablets making everything worse. Trouble is why is my armpit not healing. There's no answer to that either! Dr Barrett said last week that it could be due to the cancer spread but didn't suggest any investigation to try and clear it up

    Hi Dawn. So so sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Really can't believe all the stress that you are having to endure with waiting for appointments and procedures. The NHS system really does stink at times.

    My Dear Friend Dawn

    God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

    I will love and miss you always, you are the bravest person I have ever met

    R.I.P Beautiful lady ... wendy xx

    I was introduced to Dawn when the Mummy Diaries aired in Canada, and I have been a regular visitor to her blog ever since. Her courage left me awestruck.
    Dawn has left a tremendous legacy for her family as they can be certain that her determination was a reflection of her love for them and her desire to stay with them.
    My thoughts are with you.

    June, Canada

    I only met Dawn a couple of times through Friends Supporting Friends and wish the treatment in Germany and the UK could have been successful for her. She seemed determined to fight as hard as she could against overwhelming odds and she obviously inspired many others to help her in that fight.

    All of the friends supporting Dawn did as much as they could to help and it is a testament to their friendship and her courage that she was with you for so long after her diagnosis.

    You were so so brave dear Dawn. I remember our last telephone chat where we were both in fits of laughter - something that you always managed to do even though you were in so much pain. I remember sitting next to you at Andersens and saying how it was like sitting next to a little squirrel as you were always nibbling away at something (I was jealous that you could do this and still look so slim!!). You will be missed by all who knew you and those whose hearts you touched with your brave fight. Big Hug to Steve and the kids. Karen Bxxxx

    Very sad when I heard you had passed. Only the good die young is such a true statement but so wrong.

    This is the reply from the clinic in Germany where Dawn had treatment

    Dear Sylvia, dear Geoff,
    I am so sad to hear that Dawn passed away, she fought so bravely and was such a wonderful person, I truly admired her for her optimism. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet her, she will always remain in my heart.
    Our sincere thoughts to you both and to her husband and children.
    "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away".
    May her soul rest in peace,
    I will never forget her, she was wonderful.
    Our very best wishes,
    Christine
    on behalf of the Leonardis Klinik staff.

    To dear Dawn, So sorry to hear you have passed honey.

    I thought family and friends of Dawn would like to see this Obituary for Dawn printed in the BBC paper Ariel, written by her manager Paul.

    "For those of us who worked with Dawn, and for those who became her friends (of which so many did), there are two things that we all agree upon; firstly she was a fighter with an inner strength that few people have. The second is that whenever you spent time with Dawn, she always left you smiling. Dawn joined the BBC in 1996 as a helpdeskco-ordinator at BBC Monitoring. She worked for a short period as a project manager, became a database administrator in the delivery team and, finally, worked within business systems support, also at Caversham. On the helpdesk, Dawn’s enthusiasm and enjoyment for her work came across in the way that she dealt with people, and when she moved in to the delivery team she worked with many parts of BBCM inthe support of delivering ourmaterial to stakeholders. Socially, Dawn was always first to attend any event organised, and she particularly enjoyed anything that involved dancing. In 2001 Dawn was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36, but went in to remission until February 2005. She travelled to Germany to get pioneering treatment, funding this through her ‘Wigs to Wishes’ appeal, to which many people in BBC Monitoring contributed. During this time, Dawn worked whenever she was fit enough to do so, and we could hear the enjoyment in her voice on those days. Dawn will be sadly missed by all of us who knew her. She made the days more enjoyable, and nothing seemed to faze her. BBC Monitoring has lost one of its real characters and the place seems quieter without her."

    Rest In Peace, dear Dawn. You were such a role model to all the cancer patients, thanks for everything.
