Saving Bam Bam

Emma Carpenter
In August 2019, after having become extremely poorly with loss of speech, the use of my arm, and suffering extreme headaches, I was rushed to Glasgow Hospital for an emergency MRI Scan; where an abnormal mass on my brain was detected. They operated the following day and I received the results :-
I had Stage 4, Glioblastoma Multiforme, which is a very aggressive and incurable cancer. The prognosis for life is usually about 12 – 15 months, and that’s only with treatment. I was back in surgery only a few days later to remove as much or the cancer as possible and commence ongoing treatment.

Along the way I hit a few setbacks, and had an incredibly bad infection, so they operated again to clean the area. Then I had to have an emergency shunt fitted (basically a tap on the brain to drain away excess fluid). At this time I was given only weeks to live and I just couldn’t understand how things had become so messy, and how it had come to this?

I managed to fight my way through the infection and despite having been given little to no chance by the hospital, I have so much to fight for! Its not just a fight for life, but I am fighting to survive for my children! I have a beautiful 13 year old daughter and a gorgeous 3 year old boy.
I’ve had such amazing support from my friends and family and my good friend advised me to try some natural therapies to be used in conjunction with the chemotherapy and steroids. Sadly there are some people in the world who will prey on peoples misfortune and we were decieved out of £2000 within two weeks of my diagnosis. I nearly gave up at this point as I had no further money to try the natural supplements. But family & friends rallied around to do all they can for me to try this too. We literally had nothing to loose.
The verdict is that it truly seems to be working and I have already far exceeded the medical professionals expectation to how I have responded. At my last review, not only had the cancer not grown anymore but the legions left from the severe infection have also shrunk. This I was told would not have been achieved through Chemotherapy & Steroids alone. Furthermore my body is tolerating the Chemotherapy really well so they are able to continue giving me this treatment too. Again this is thanks to the natural therapies.
I am therefore sharing my story with you today, to ask for your help please…? Your help to let me love for longer, to give me more time to fight this and more time with my babies and to beat this cancer.

With your help I believe this can be achieved. So please could you donate to my cause, no matter how small; to help me continue to use the natural supplements which have already helped me so much. But if nothing else, thank you for reading my story.
All my love
