Story
We are fundraising on behalf of Tina and her family to help fund potentially life saving immunotherapy cancer treatment.
Tina is a 43 year old mother of two boys who has been dreadfully let down by the NHS after having her stomach cancer misdiagnosed as depression and fibromyalgia for more than a year which then resulted in her being told she has only 8 weeks to live when the cancer was eventually discovered.
Tinas best hope is immunotherapy which helps boosts the body's natural defences to help it fight cancer. Devastatingly the NHS are refusing to fund the treatment despite their catastrophic errors so the family have no choice but to attempt to fund it themselves and will have to travel to Germany to undertake the treatment which comes at a high cost. Immunotherapy costs between £7,000 - £25,000 per treatment dependant on the results of teats carried out in Germany.
Tina is a truly lovely woman, always so willing to help others and a devoted wife and amazing mother. She deserves this chance more than anyone and would be the first to help if the shoe were on the other foot.
Time is not on Tina's side so we need to raise funds as quickly as possible, please give whatever you can, everything will be so gratefully received by the family.
Thank you very much for reading, please share this page far and wide to help us raise the money needed❤️

7 years agoEveryone has been so kind in helping so far but we can't afford to give up now. The page is now up to 36,000 views but we've only had 1,000 shares and just under 1,000 people donating. £2 off everyone who views this page could be the difference that helps a 43 year old mother to live. Please find it in your hearts to donate and also share the post to get your friends on board too. Thank you to everyone who has so far ❤️

7 years agoI Hey guys, just a little update on whats been going on. Firstly on behalf of all the family we can't thank each and everyone of you enough for what you've all been doing. **Why are we in this predicament?** As everyone is already aware Tina has stomach cancer. The treatment for stomach cancer is to usually take the whole stomach away, and hence surgically remove ALL the cancer. Unfortunately due to the incompetence of the NHS it was such a late diagnosis that the cancer had already spread to her abdominal lining and surrounding lymph
