My Journey So Far
Amy first noticed something wasn’t right back in 2018, when she found a thickened area in her breast. At the time, she was reassured it was nothing serious.
Over the following years, she continued to raise concerns as her symptoms changed, but each time she was told it was normal.
In 2020, while pregnant during COVID, Amy again noticed changes — including blood discharge from her nipple. Due to restrictions, she was only assessed over the phone and was reassured this was just hormonal changes during pregnancy.
After giving birth in January 2021, she discovered another lump just weeks later. Despite her concerns, she wasn’t seen until months later when she was devastatingly diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, which had already spread to her lymph nodes. She was just 26 years old, with a newborn baby and a young son at home.
Amy endured everything thrown at her 6 months of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, as well as private cancer protocols.
In November 2022, she was finally told she was "cancer free".
Even though she was never given a scan of her brain.

But her journey didn’t end there.
Throughout her treatment and recovery, Amy repeatedly raised concerns about worsening symptoms, including migraines, blurred vision, and dizziness, but these were dismissed. She was never offered a brain scan, as this wasn’t standard protocol.
Even when she pushed for answers privately, she was told it was “highly unlikely” the cancer had spread to the brain, and there was more chance of the doctor having a “heart attack”.
But Amy knew something wasn’t right.
In June 2023, after weeks of severe migraines, feeling unwell, and repeatedly going back and forth to doctors, she went to A&E on her wedding anniversary.
That’s when her world fell apart.
Doctors discovered a large tumour in her brain — secondary (stage 4) breast cancer.
She underwent emergency, life-saving surgery, followed by multiple rounds of radiotherapy.
Life has been a constant battle since.
Amy has since then developed dural spread (Leptomeningeal Disease) and 14 brain tumours, which has a poor prognosis.
Amy has gone through five different types of chemotherapy, and has undergone targeted SRS radio treatments and whole brain radiotherapy, and months of high-dose steroids.
Alongside numerous private treatments and health protocols, all in the hope of slowing the progression of her cancer.
She also tried Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy, which only worked for around 6 months but unfortunately the cancer managed to progress yet again.
In December 2025, Amy began her last-line chemotherapy. Shortly after, she suffered a brain bleed, leading to multiple seizures and loss of speech.
More recently, she has suffered multiple seizures on Mother’s Day and again over Easter. Each one is a terrifying reminder that the tumours are still growing.
The pressure on her brain is now affecting how she speaks, how she thinks, and how she functions day to day.
And despite everything… Amy is still battling, still fighting, still hoping for any possible treatment that may help her.
The Hardest Part
Amy has now been told she can’t have any more radiotherapy.
The swelling in her brain isn’t improving and even after 5 months on strong steroids.
So unfortunately, that is another line of treatment exhausted and she has now ran out of options!
Why We Need Your Help
We are now urgently searching across the UK and Europe for any possible treatments, such as clinical trials or any private treatments, off-label medications, anything that could give her more time.
We are spending over £1,800 every month based off her current private protocols, and these costs are only expected to increase.
