Hello everyone! I’m Tony… Frankie’s husband. She’s my beautiful wife, a wonderful mummy and the person I love more than anything in this world. And I’m asking you to help me fight for her. ❤️

Earlier this year, completely out of nowhere, Frankie suffered two seizures.

Within hours we went from living our normal, happy, slightly chaotic family life to being told that my beautiful wife had a cancerous brain tumour.

Frankie is only 38.

The last few months have absolutely terrified me.

Through all of the fear, we are still us. We still laugh, we still love, we still enjoy the beautiful moments and we are still making memories as a family.

I want to fill her days with love and hope while I spend every waking hour I can searching for answers.

Every single day I pray that somehow, somewhere, we are going to find our miracle.

We have our little boy, Indi, who is only four. He absolutely adores his mummy.

Every single day at school, he finds a stick for Frankie. He keeps hold of it all day and when she picks him up, he gives it to her like he’s found her the greatest treasure in the world. He’s always so proud of himself.

I want our house filling up with Indi’s sticks for years to come.

I want Frankie to watch him grow up.

I want her there for the first days of school, the birthdays, the Christmas mornings, the teenage years and all those completely ordinary little moments that you never realise are precious until suddenly you’re frightened they might be taken away.

I am simply not ready to lose her.

So I’m going to fight for her with everything I have.

Frankie has been diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma, a rare type of brain cancer.

Her tumour is large, deep inside her brain and involves the corpus callosum. Because of where it is, surgeons have told us that it cannot safely be removed.

And over the last six months, rather than remaining stable, her scans have shown progression in the tumour and increasingly concerning enhancement.

Finding the right treatment for Frankie has become incredibly urgent.

Since her diagnosis, I have become completely obsessed with finding options. I have spent countless nights researching, contacting doctors, scientists, hospitals, charities, pharmaceutical companies and clinical trial teams around the world.

And there are reasons for us to have hope.

We are already speaking with specialists and exploring brain tumour vaccines, immunotherapy, international treatment centres and emerging clinical trials.

Some of these options are not routinely available to us here in the UK. They could mean travelling abroad, accessing specialist treatment privately, paying for advanced testing or needing to move quickly when an opportunity becomes available.

And that is why I need your help.

We are trying to raise £100,000 to create a fighting fund for Frankie. The money will help us access specialist consultations, advanced testing and potential treatments, as well as cover the travel and accommodation needed if we have to take Frankie abroad.

We don’t yet know which treatment or opportunity will be the right one for Frankie, but we are already actively pursuing them. I want us to be ready when that moment comes, so that money isn’t the reason we can’t reach it.

I never imagined I would have to ask people for this kind of help.

But this is Frankie. This is the love of my life.

I’m actually crying as I write this because admitting this next part is incredibly hard for me…

I can’t do this on my own anymore.

I need help. We need help.

So I’m asking you, with everything in me, please help me do everything I possibly can for Frankie.

Help us reach the treatments we are fighting to access. Help us keep moving forward.

Help us fight for more time with her.

Because the truth is, I’m not ready to lose my wife. Indi isn’t ready to lose his mummy. We need her here.

And right now, more time with Frankie is the most precious thing in our world. ❤️

Every donation, every share and every person who gets behind #MissionSaveFrankie gives us more power to keep searching and keep fighting for her.

Thank you for reading Frankie’s story. Thank you for caring about her. And thank you to every single person who chooses to help us fight for her future. ❤️
