Michelle has fought for seven long years, Metastatic pheochromocytoma is a very rare form of cancer. That is the fight that we are looking to win. In October 2023 Michelle learnt that it was a choice between a sternotomy or systemic medication, this was not a choice she could make as the cancer had spread that much the decision made for her, to apply for Nuclear Medication (PRRT). The specialist had to request funding for the treatment, this process/application began In October 2023. After sixteen weeks of waiting, two trips to Arrow Park Hospital as the GP couldnt help wth the pain, her youngest childs birthday nearly being spoilt because of it and unable to enjoy Christmas with the thought of what if hanging over the whole family. Today, because of the second visit to the hospital which brought forward the need for a decision to be made. She has been declined the funding for the only hope she had to further her life as the criteria has not been met. How this was not met, is still to be explained. She could have years witb the PRRT or months with Chemotherapy.

This is why we ask

We hope to gather the funds to pay for the treatment to give Michelle years rather than months with her children and grandchildren.

We hope to raise £55,000 for the experimental treatment, we ask for your help.

Please

Update

Michelle would like to thank each and every individual for their time, effort and contribution.

Today she met with the Consultant, the Chemotherapy has reduced the Lymph nodes, the lungs are still the same. The Chemotherapy will be continued for the full course of six months. Her body will be given a break to recuperate before undergoing the PRRT Treatment that you have all helped with. Now we are nearer the treatment, the Consultant has shown us the treatment in it’s entirety will cost £74,000. We cannot believe we reached £55,000 and it is another problem that we ask if there is in any way shape or form that you can help again to save someones life, a family And a future. Thankyou xxxxx
