<div>I’ve embarked on a huge journey so far and I’m not done yet….
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I need your support to help me return my body to wellness and healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in October 2023.
</div>
<div>Flown home by medical plane from our honeymoon in Turkey, a huge mass was found in my chest affecting my breathing, my heart and my overall health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Being told I have Stage 4 cancer, well nothing really comes close to that.
</div>
<div>An utter shock.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve had 5 lines of chemotherapy &amp; immunotherapy, I’ve been bald twice, potentially lost my fertility, blown up like a balloon, vomiting in the street on my way back from treatments, 60kgs in weight and also 49kgs!
</div>
<div>All whilst navigating our young son’s needs and managing the guilt I feel being away from him through relentless hospital visits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I did reach a brief remission for 4 weeks in January but yet my disease just keeps coming back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now I find myself in a place of hearing words such as ‘we are running out of options’ and potentially ‘palliative care’.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are outcomes that I cannot accept.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know there is a key to unlocking my diagnosis and I will not leave any stone unturned until I find it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I believe there is a real hope for me. My journey is much larger than I ever anticipated and I truly believe there is a way for my body to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those that know me, my passions are to live well, eat well, exercising the body and explore the world with such intrigue, excitement and a huge open mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My husband &amp; I have changed so many things since my diagnosis and I know there is EVEN more to do. I will do this with every inch of my body and soul.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have embarked on a medically supervised extended fast.
</div>
<div>In California, America. That was SO hard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After being assessed by Doctors who have fasted thousands of patients from 5-40 days, I was carefully monitored through a 21 day fast and then a 11 day refeed period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will link the centre here: <a href="https://www.truenorthhealth.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="http://www.truenorthhealth.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.truenorthhealth.com/</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Look I know this could be received as ‘out there’ and would worry many, however my gut is telling me this may be a way for my body to heal and for it to be in a completely rested state to be able to heal.
</div>
<div>The alternative conventional options at the moment are very risky and would require me to be in-hospital for weeks and weeks on end with no definitive possibility of remission and very high toxicity treatments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm looking at alternative therapies to support my immune system and lower inflammation, including detox treatments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As soon as I think about being away from my 4 year old son and my husband Sam, I just cry.
</div>
<div>They need me and I really need them.
</div>
<div>I HAVE to do whatever it takes to be alive and healthy for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Im prepared to do the hard things. One of the hardest things in my life was to be so far from my son, for 32 days. That’s even before thinking of not even eating for 21 days! (I will be drinking water)
</div>
<div>There’s no certainty.
</div>
<div>But a lesson to me &amp; my son one day, that the hardest things in life often bring the greatest rewards.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want my son to know I tried absolutely everything and for him to be proud of me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All I can say with every piece of me IS THAT I am willing to dive deep, deeper than ever before to beat this Lymphoma and be the healthy mother and wife they both need and want.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am scared. But deep down I know this is what I have to do right now.
</div>
<div>Literally next week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, I’m asking for your help with funding. For treatments imminently and in the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankyou for your help x
</div>
