Cut it for Chloe

In November 2019 our incredibly amazing friend Chloe was just 20 weeks into her first pregnancy when she was diagnosed with a stage 3 brain tumour. In early December she underwent surgery while still pregnant to have the tumour removed but was then told by the doctors in Beaumont Hospital that they were unable to have all the tumour removed by surgery and she would require rigorous rounds of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the main priority at the time was ensuring the safe delivery of her baby and on the 2nd of March she gave birth to her beautiful baby boy Sam 6 weeks early.




2 weeks after Sam was born Chloe had to leave him to begin 6 weeks of radiotherapy in Dublin. During this time she was dealt another blow when she tested positive for Covid-19 and had to remain in isolation for the remainder of this treatment. However, being the amazing fighter that she is she beat the virus and was able to continue with her radiotherapy and finally get back home to Sam her husband Ian and her family.




Her time at home again was very short lived and she was again brought back to Beaumont  one week later with some complications. Again we cannot stress enough the amazing care she was given by the medical team there but they have now told the family that as a hospital they can’t give her anymore treatment up there.

 

The goal for Chloes family now, is to be able to have her back home to allow her to spend time with them all but most importantly with her beautiful boy Sam who doesn’t realise yet, the amazing Mammy that he has, before she has to begin her chemotherapy.




So, on Saturday the 13th of June we are both going to have our heads shaved and this is just our very small way of helping towards allowing this quality time for them all and we would greatly appreciate any kind of donation big or small. All the money raised from this will be going directly to our amazing Chloe, Ian and Sam.




Many Thanks to you all for taking the time to read about Chloes Story
