CANCER.... We all think  this happens to someone else, people you read about in the paper,  distant relatives, people you donate to through third parties but not one of your best friends who you've known for 15 years this is her story ....... After first being diagnosed with breast cancer  in  February 2015 aged 37, Rebekah Cole mum to a 7 yr old son and 8 month old daughter suffered months of chemotherapy a mastectomy and radiotherapy spending days on the sofa lethargic, aching, being sick when she should have been playing with her young family.  Being the selfless person she is she even found the strength helping others maintain some control by becoming an ambassador for 'Paxman Cooling Caps' which she used herself throughout her treatment to retain her hair, something she knew was important to patients through her experiences of owning 'Woodview' beauty salon in her local village of Shelley, Huddersfield where we had both lived for the last 17 years. 
Supported throughout her treatment by friends, family and her husband Rob the future was looking positive when Becky was struck by what was thought to be a chest infection. Unsuccessful treatment with antibiotics and further investigation led to the discovery that the cancer had returned with a vengeance - less than 2 yrs after her first diagnosis!  This time it was so severe and aggressive that within a month it had consumed half her lungs leaving her struggling to breath. This left little hope apart from chemo to prolong her life for a short time but nothing more can be done...doctors have given up on her completely! 
Being faced with literally a death sentence Becky couldn't bare the thought of her children now 9 yrs and 2 yrs growing up without a mother she now sits night after night sobbing at their bedsides for the relationship with her children that she could be robbed of and how would her husband cope with such an unimaginably sad situation of bringing the children up alone.  Fuelled by this we started researching which is when the 'Hallwang Oncology Clinic' based in Germany which specialises in immunotherapy something  unavailable in the U.K.  came to light.  This brought hope of prolonging Becky's life further than chemo ever could or even eradicating the cancer altoghther, becoming the only chance Becky has left but the cost of travel and medical bills would be immense (medical bills alone were estimated to be around £250,000 on first contact with the clinic with no subsidies from the NHS!) This is where you come in, as a long standing close friend can you help me to raise funds which could possibly 'Save Becky' any contribution however small will go towards her initial consultation blood tests and treatment plan at 'The Hallwang Oncology Clinic' in Germany with further funds raised paying  for ongoing immuno vaccine treatment to help save Rebekah Coles young life ensuring her children don't grow up without a mum, her husband without a wife and I dont loose my best friend.  Please donate. 
(All funds recieved will either be payed directly to Rebekah Cole or Samantha Rhodes to be transfered into the 'Save Becky' fund account.)
