Story

Hi, I’m Tracey, a 41-year-old single mum to my 7-year-old son, Austin. For 12 years, I ran my own holistic hairdressing business, pouring my heart into helping others feel good mentally and physically. But in October, my life took an unexpected turn. I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and on January 10th I will undergo surgery for a mastectomy and the removal of lymph nodes.

While my doctors have a plan for my surgery, there’s still uncertainty about the treatments that will follow. I am determined to give myself the best chance of a full recovery. This means seeking out integrative oncologists and alternative therapies that focus on restoring strength, boosting my long-term health, and reducing the risk of recurrence. Unfortunately, these essential treatments and supplements come at a significant cost whilst being consistent with it, the financial burden has become overwhelming.

I’m reaching out for support because I believe that with the right care, I can heal and thrive quickly after surgery to be there for my son, with the help of a practitioner and nutritionist and an independent integrative doctor on my team along with the NHS team.

My goal is to ensure that both my son and I can have a bright, healthy, and happy future for many many more years.

Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and will directly help with the costs of supplements ,care and alternative therapies including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and IV vitamin C and more, treatment doesn’t have to be toxic with the right care.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story, and for any help you can offer during this challenging time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tracey & Austin
