Story


Please support Angela in her endeavor to fund Life Saving treatment.

For those who don't know me my name is Angela, I’m fifty years old and I have stage 4 Ovarian/peritoneal cancer.

In July 2013, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer which led to colorectal surgery involving a large section of my bowel being removed, this was then followed by 6 months of chemotherapy which left my immune system extremely compromised. I then received the all clear, a day I will never forget.

After five years in April 2018 I was experiencing pain in my pelvic region followed by a further 4 months of tests and scans I was told that I had Ovarian/Peritoneal Cancer.  
It was not only inoperable but also incurable. It’s possible that it has arisen due to scar tissue damage from the laparoscopic operation from my bowel cancer.

My oncologist recommended chemotherapy, of which I followed. At the end of the treatment it had made the cancer more aggressive and another tumour had appeared. The news was then delivered by my Oncologist that I had 6 months to 2 years to live. This was 6 months ago.

After a 2nd opinion from The Royal Marsden, London, a course of radiotherapy was recommended and taken. I am now left with severe pain with nerve and muscle damage and an eroded pelvic bone, my situation is more advanced, with metastases near my thyroid and in a muscle in my back near my kidney and spine.  

I am following a strict vegan protocol and trying to help build up my immune system with the help of vast supplements. However I feel that more conventional treatment will only cause more problems to my already compromised immune system and my finances are now exhausted.

I am not ready to leave this wonderful life, I am not a victim, just someone whom is looking to spend my future with my family and friends around me. I love life and have so much more to do and give. 

This is why I am reaching out to you all.

I have extensively researched many alternative non toxic treatments,  my ultimate wish was to go to Mexico for this, however due to recently developed health issues such as a DVT, this looks doubtful.  So, now with the help of your donations I will be pursuing combined treatments in the UK and Europe.  I believe this a path for me to follow to carry on walking on this beautiful earth. 

Please, if you can find it in your heart to give even the smallest amount towards my treatment costs, so I can continue to walk this path of life alongside yourselves, I will be eternally thankful and grateful for any generosity and kindness..

With love & gratitude Angela x
