Hello all,
I was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer in October 2024 (aged 49). I was treated for this and was hoping to make a full recovery.
However, in April this year, I had a few days when I started loosing words, and couldn’t finish sentences. I was advised to go to A&E.
After the necessary scans, the dr told me that the cancer had spread to the brain - I had several brain lesions.
I had Gamma Knife treatment (a type of radiotherapy) on 6 brain lesions.
I am now on palliative treatment (chemotherapy, target therapy and immunotherapy). The cancer is also in pelvic lymph nodes, kidneys and hip bone.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
