To be told in your forties with a young child to care for that you have stage four incurable kidney cancer and will be given palliative care only is unfathomable and devastating!
Many of you landing here today will know my sister Hayley’s story and her journey so far very well. She is trying everything she can to beat the diagnosis and get a miracle! We are not asking for a lot, we are asking for many to give just a little to help with the funding of private treatments and alternative options that are available. Giving hope and support along her journey.
The NHS offer very few treatment options for late stage or advanced stage cancers, even though there could still be hope!
This forces patients to seek private medical options.
Hayley has been recommended a couple of strong options via a private integrated oncologist for additional treatments to explore alongside the NHS palliative medication, however, to access them she now needs to raise funds of between 4k – 50k depending on the type of treatments, the number required and the on-going purchasing of private prescriptions, supplements and alternative therapies.

She would like to try as many of these options that she can in a bid to save or prolong her life and continue being able to raise her young daughter for many years to come.
Before this devastating diagnosis - Hayley had a 6-year battle with her GP trying to receive referrals and investigations as she knew something wasn’t right but sadly, she was ignored and passed off until she arrived in A&E in 2023.
Her full story is documented in the updates section of this page.
