Help April’s Cancer Fight,Urgent treatment needed

Donation protected
Hi My name is April, My journey with cancer began in June 2017.  My life as I thought would change forever.  I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, from then on things moved rapidly. I had a Larparoscopic anterior high resection one 07/07/2017 switched to FOLFIRI chemotherapy  December 2017- 8 cycles - stopped in May 2018.  After the treatment I had been informed they had removed all the Cancer. I was ecstatic... I thought I had my life back. Well this was short lived. I had a re scan the same month and they had found it had gone to my Liver.  So the plan was to have 4 rounds of Chemo then surgery.  Soon after my Chemo they realised my Tumors had grown and switched me to a different type of Chemo.  7 rounds of Chemo later my Tumors  continued to grow.  This Chemotherapy made me so sick I ended up in hospital for 8 days.  My Surgery got delayed on 3 occasions due to me being so sick. The doctors did not want to place me under surgery.  In the October of 2018 I was due to have my surgery at last.  I was over the moon and thought I would have my life back. The day before my surgery I was requested to come straight in for a scan on my liver to double check everything.  On that same night I had a call from Royal Hospital Chelsea, London and they had informed me that the surgery will not be going ahead as the Tumors had multiplied but to still come and see the doctor the following day.  I was then told in front of my 2 children as my youngest was not of age to come for the result that I have 12 to 18 months to live, my world crumbled. December 2018 I have been told it has also moved to both my lungs.  I am so numb.The treatment I need for this is not available in the UK for me.  So now we are trying to raise funds to send me to Germany for the treatment I need to help beat this horrible disease.  This treatment has been proven to save lifes and this is my last chance. The cost for treatment is very High. 30 thousand pounds needs to been raised for this treatment. Any little helps. I want to beat this Battle and I have faith that I will if I get the correct treatment.  I want to see my kids and my two beautiful granchildren grow up. Thank you for everyone who has taken the time out to ready my story.  April and Family xxxx
