<div>We are raising funds as a family to support our much-loved daughter, sister, partner and friend, Victoria, who is now facing the fight of her life.
</div>
<div>In September 2024, Victoria first went to her GP with a frightening symptom: she could no longer swallow properly. Every meal felt like food was getting stuck in her throat. She returned again and again as her symptoms worsened, her pain increased, and her ability to live a normal life slowly disappeared.
</div>
<div>What followed was more than a year of missed opportunities, delayed investigations, and repeated reassurance — while her health deteriorated in plain sight.
</div>
<div>Despite multiple tests showing concerning signs, no clear plan or urgency was put in place. Results were not explained, follow-ups didn’t happen, and instead of investigating the cause of her swallowing difficulties, she was repeatedly prescribed medication to manage symptoms.
</div>
<div>Over the months that followed:
</div>
<div>She struggled to eat even soft foods
</div>
<div>She needed excessive liquids just to swallow
</div>
<div>She experienced severe pain, choking episodes, and vomiting
</div>
<div>She lost over 20kg
</div>
<div>She became unable to work or function normally
</div>
<div>By the time specialists finally intervened, further investigations revealed a severe oesophageal stricture so tight that even a scope could not pass — fully explaining why she could barely swallow liquids. This should have been identified and treated far earlier.
</div>
<div>She has now been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
</div>
<div>This diagnosis did not come because her symptoms were mild — but because they were repeatedly dismissed.
</div>
<div>Why We Are Asking for Help
</div>
<div>Right now, our focus as a family is simple: time, treatment, and quality of life.
</div>
<div>We are fundraising to help Victoria access any specialist cancer care in the UK or abroad alongside the support she needs to endure treatment and maintain strength — without further life-limiting delays.
</div>
<div>Every donation helps her access advanced cancer treatment and allows her to focus fully on fighting this disease, surrounded by the people who love her.
</div>
<div>Our Promise
</div>
<div>As a family, we promise to:
</div>
<div>Share honest updates
</div>
<div>Use all funds responsibly and solely to support her treatment and care keep this page transparent, respectful, and focused on her wellbeing If you are able to donate or share this page, you are helping us buy time and hope for someone we love beyond words.
</div>
<div>From all of us — thank you
</div>
