Lauren is only 23 years old and has 2 gorgeous babies, Alfie- George who’s 2 and Rosie-Ann who’s 7 months old.

Lauren has been diagnosed with a very rare form of Adrenal Cancer and Cushing’s syndrome.

It’s so rare that there is no cure for it and therefore terminal.

Lauren is travelling to and from the Christie’s hospital in Manchester most days to receive treatment.

Lauren is the strongest person I know and she will put up a fight

This go fund me is to help out with the costs of travelling back and forth and also to support Lauren and Liam with day to day life.

Thankyou to everyone who has donated no matter how much, it’s one less thing for them to worry about

The message below is from Lauren,

Yesterday I started the biggest fight of my life.

I’ve not yet ever lost one so I’m not letting this fucker beat me.

As many of you know I was diagnosed with a very, very rare form of Adrenal Cancer.

Which has now spread, to 2 tumours in my lungs.

It’s that rare they haven’t got a cure for it. So it’s terminal.

To get to this stage has been one hell of a road trip. From giving birth to my little princess in January, doing so well up until end of march where I just woke up 3 times bigger than I went to bed. With many of visits to the doctors to be told it’s post partum.

Until I was admitted to my local hospital it was then we knew something wasn’t quite right. I had scans that shown a big ‘cyst’. It wasn’t until a cancer specialist looked at this as said it wasn’t just a cyst. So I was referred the Christie’s in Manchester.

I’ve been going here now every 3 days nearly since may.

My consultant there realised not only have I got all this cancer, I have Cushing’s syndrome also. All of my symptoms that the doctors said was ‘post partum’ were symptoms of this nasty thing.

Where I take 26 tablets a day to control it. But I’m thankful for this otherwise they’d have never have found the cancer and I probably wouldn’t be here to tell the story right now.

So he’s now doing an awareness across the world to raise awareness of this cushings syndrome. Girls, do your research, know your symptoms and stand your fucking ground.

I was 22, with a 2year old and a 20 week old when I was diagnosed. I’m now on every possible chemo they have to offer. If my body works well, it will just buy me time. But that’s what they say.

My babies need their mummy, and I need them. This will be curable, this is a fight that I’m not sure how to handle but I will prove them wrong.
