Iʼm raising £600 to Help Jamie Scott get the Cancer Treatment she needs

Don't have time to donate right now?

Story

Myself and Boxing legend Richie Woodhall are raising money to help Telford local Jamie Scott raise enough money for her urgent Cancer Treatment.

We have a a lovely boxing glove signed by legend Barry McGuigan MBE who is a former World Champion and amazing contestant on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!! 2nd prize is a signed Barry McGuigan programme and 3rd and 4th prize are posters signed by former WBC Champion and amazing pundit Richie Woodhall. For every £2.50 donated, you'll have 1 entry which will be drawn in a week's time near St Patrick's Day. All money (minus fees here) will go to Jamie Scott. Please make sure to leave your name and contact for us to contact you if you win.

Here is some info in Jamie's words. Thank you

I was diagnosed with ocular melanoma in June 2011 and had my right eye removed within a few weeks. That was some shock, because who knew eye cancer was thing?! I was classed a ‘high risk’ for it spreading, and for 10 years, thankfully I was ok!

Sadly, in November 2022, my worst fear was confirmed that the cancer had spread to my liver and lungs. I’ve since had two ablation procedures to remove the cancer, but in January 2024, further lesions were found in my liver. I have been on immunotherapy treatment since March 2024 and recent scans have unfortunately confirmed the treatment is not helping enough. The cancer is still growing.

Since there are currently no other immunotherapy drugs available to me, my oncologist, who is incredibly experienced, has suggested a treatment called Chemosaturation – a life-saving treatment that is currently unavailable on the NHS. This means my only option to get this treatment is to ask you – my kind and generous friends, family and even strangers – for help in raising money to pay for it.

Chemosaturation has had NICE recommendation since April 2021, but because it is classed as a ‘medical device’ and not a ‘treatment/drug’, it must go through a much lengthier approval process before it can be made available for NHS treatment. The reality is, this may take another 12-18 months – and I might have that long before the cancer wins.

Chemosat is available privately at a cost of £40,000 per treatment cycle. I need a minimum of three treatments, at a total cost of £120,000. I do not have enough savings, nor any means of accessing private healthcare or pension funds to cover this cost. There is simply no way I can fund this treatment without your help.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, I will withdraw funds directly. It's the most efficient way to donate and saves time and costs.
