Hi my name is Suzanne, I am mother to my handsome, resilient and intelligent 11 year old boy. In March of 2022 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy. In amongst this I found out that my dad was terminally ill with lung cancer and didn’t have long. I tried my best during chemo to help nurse my dad and spend time with him but chemo hit me hard and my only relief was sleep so I missed more than I would have liked to and helped less than I would have liked to. This was hard for me as my mam and dad are my best friends. Since then we’ve buried my dad and I’ve had radiotherapy. Since then I have suffered with pain in my back and pretty much all joints. I had a MRI in August 2023 which didn’t show any malignancy. I had another MRI in November 2024 which showed suspicious bony lesions on my spine, a subsequent CT scan confirmed that my previous breast cancer had metastasised to my spine. I am currently stage 4 incurable but treatment is available to keep my comfortable and prolong my life. I’m not in good financial position but want to live the best life I possibly can with my boy, my mam and my wider family while I can. I hate asking for charity but it turns out that I may not have the time left to make this money without help from anyone who cares about me in any way.
