<div>Our mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in April 2025, and the oncologist told us she had 3–12 weeks left to live. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hearing those words changed our entire world in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mum began emergency cancer treatment straight away — immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy — but after just one round she became extremely unwell.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mum made the brave decision that she didn’t want to spend whatever time she has left feeling sick, weak or unable to enjoy her life with her partner, children and grandchildren.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead, she chose a gentler path: natural and supportive therapies that help her manage pain, reduce inflammation and maintain the best quality of life possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>None of these treatments are available through the NHS, so everything has to be funded by us as a family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, the two main treatments helping her the most are Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Both have become an important part of her health journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>HBOT helps increase oxygen within the body, which reduces inflammation and pain. Mum has already noticed that she feels a little more comfortable and more herself after her sessions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>LDN is also helping her by modulating her immune system, calming inflammation and easing pain through natural endorphins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mum sometimes needs extra support with her breathing. Because oxygen isn’t available to her through standard pathways, we would need to fund any oxygen supplies ourselves. Having access to this would help her enormously on days where her breathing becomes difficult and would bring her a lot of comfort at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost of all this add up quickly. Mum needs a £50 membership just to access the oxygen centre, and each session is £30. She has started with fourteen sessions over two weeks, and she desperately wants to continue with everything — the oxygen therapy, the LDN and all of her supportive treatments. On top of this, she has private prescription expenses, including a £200 registration fee with her Prescriber and she has to pay for certain consultations for ongoing prescription costs. It has quickly become a huge financial strain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a small family. Mum has just her three children, her son-in-law and her three grandchildren. Our dad died when we were very young, so Mum has been our only parent for most of our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mum’s partner has Motor Neurone Disease (MND/ALS). He is paralysed, bed bound and unable to speak. Mum cared for him lovingly without support until she collapsed, and after her own diagnosis it became too much for her physically and emotionally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is now being cared for in a home where he receives 24/7 support. This has been incredibly hard on her heart, and extremely difficult for her partner too, as they have both had to face separation while dealing with their own illnesses — losing four homes, three vehicles and their livelihoods in the process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to give Mum every chance to stay with us for as long as she can — feeling as well as possible, feeling loved and able to enjoy her time with her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will help us cover her oxygen therapy, her medical costs, her prescriptions, her oxygen supplies, mobility equipment, travel to Bristol and the ongoing treatments that support her day-to-day wellbeing. We would be so grateful for any help towards funding this care for her — it would mean the world to us, and it would help give Mum the chance to feel more comfortable, more supported and hopefully stay with us for longer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No amount is too small, and just sharing this page helps us more than we can ever express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for reading our story and for helping us support the most important person in our lives.
</div>
