Here is Leanne Styles story.
So 3 years ago we lost my nana, leannes mum to an aggressive cancer that was eating away at everything. Leanne had been her carer through all of this and was there holding her hand when she went. She went peacefully and in her own home and with her family who loved her dearly.
The year after leanne found a lump and decided to go to the doctors after hoping it would go away for a little while (I think after losing my nana to cancer she was in denial). Any way it turns out she had breast cancer. So after a bit of treatment etc etc they decided it needed removing for the best outcome. Anyways big dos and little dos she fought it and was on the mend (so we all thought). She went through the whole cancer treatment process chemo lost her hair etc and she did all this while still being primary carer to her husband who was/is still really poorly himself. Don't get me wrong she'd ring me up n have a bit of a moan but given the circumstances she was allowed to.
Then after her hair started growing bk she started to feel a bit better. Started playing about with make up again trying to feel a bit girly as anyone would. She was never very good at make up like and iv have to do it for her when ever I'd see her. I always told her my make wasn't magic n I didn't have enough of it haha but that was mine and hers relationship. Someone had to keep her grounded and tell her she was a tw@t and she did the same with me. Although she was technically my aunti I always thought of her as an older sister given she was closer to my age than my mums haha.
Anyways I went off track then. So we all thought she was on the mend and fought the cancer like a champ. Then recently the head aches started and fainting spells. She couldn't get in at the doctors coz it's all triage now or ur in position fricking 30 so we give up n put the phone down. So she was told she could get a scan but wouldn't be till the week after. Happy days finally a scan. Nope, she was rushed to hospital on the 29th May. Talking jibberish and being weird. They took a look at her and put her into an induced coma. Scanned her brain and seen half a dozen tumors around her brain. Half a dozen aggressive af little basterds eating away. It turns out they wasn't brain tumors the breast cancer had spread to her brain (I didn't even know that was possible). They tried getting her out of the coma the day after hoping to see some improvement but none, did another scan and it had doubled in size so at that point her husband and family had to make the decision to turn off the machine. It sounds strange but I felt her leave the Sunday. Absolutely heart broken and lost and not knowing what to do for the best and feeling absolutely useless as I'm a couple of weeks left to go on my pregnancy.
I have decided to set up a gofund.me to help with the costs of bringing leanne back down to be with her family and lay her to rest with my nana and my little sister, as there is absolutely nothing in place. (If you know leanne youl know she's not very organised) haha.
My aim is to do a memorial at my sisters grave do they can all be together again as I know this is what they would both want.
It doesn't have to be big just what ever anyone can afford would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading and thank you for donating if you can or already have, even a share will be appreciated dearly. She would be 48 on the 15th July xx
