This is The Richardson Family the most amazing people you will ever meet.
So the roller coaster ride started in 2016 where Michelle was diagnosed with breast Cancer. The fight for Michelle was a long and hard one, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and after going through all of that she had to have a double mastectomy.
Which then followed with several operations to reconstruct the breasts. Michelle battled through every single challenge that she had to without batting an eyelid to everyone around her, when behind closed doors the struggle must of been hard for her. Only thing that bothered her even slightly was losing her beautiful blonde hair.
She faced everything with a smile and fighting attitude and anyone that came in contact with her was in awe of how amazing she was coping with it all.
As time went on she started to slowly but surely get back to better health and we was all enjoying her being able to get back to 'normal' so to speak. She returned to work and started to make plans for the future.
Holidays was being taken, ticking of bucket list desires making every single moment count.
Planned the best hen weekend ever to Disney ( Michelle's favourite place ever) for myself and made one of my childhood dreams come true.
Few weeks later stood beside me as my maid of honour at my wedding.
By the end of 2019 they had almost completed the purchase of brand new home something they had been saving for, for years and years. They was desperate to move out of the area and nearer to the countryside for a better life for all the family.
Unfortunately COVID-19 made this almost impossible and they had to wait alot longer than planned for the process to be completed.
Towards end June everything was sorted and they had finally moved into their dream home and the new start they had all wanted was about to begin.
Few weeks later everything changed...
For several weeks Michelle had been in agony with what she thought was a bad back. But she didn't think too much of it just thought maybe done too much with moving.
But things took a turn for the worse pain was getting really bad and unbareable she was having lots of scans, ultrasounds and x-rays.
On the 3rd August Michelle was told her cancer had returned but this time it was in the liver. There was much more investigation to be done to determine the staging of the cancer and put a plan in place to get her better.
After going away for a few days with family at their caravan Michelle went to her planned appointment to discuss the next steps for her treatment etc...
On the 19th August she was told not only did she have cancer in her liver it had spread to her bones and they could no longer help her other than to help with pain and stop it spreading any further.
Obviously as a family they tried to stay as strong as possible to deal with this terrible news. Stuart got straight into finding any advice or information he could to see what they could do to keep her healthy for as long as possible so that she would be around for longer.
They changed diets and started doing anything and everything that was recommended to them. This all came at a cost.
Stuart took over the reigns of bodyshop something very close to Michelle's heart. All so he could get some extra cash to keep Michelle in as best health as possible and support the family.
Unfortunately in the coming weeks from the terminal diagnosis. Michelle had deteriorated quicker than anyone expected and had been unable to do much as she was now too poorly.
Which has meant she had struggled to work.
Which now means now due to COVID-19 they as family had no income at all as Stuart can't work at his regular job as dj.
This has put undue pressure on the family as a whole as with no money coming in paying the mortgage was going to be very difficult.
Lots of people have been raising money in different ways or donating in whichever way they can which is super helpful but unfortunately just isn't going to pay the mortgage.
Stuart now faces the possibility of losing his home for him and haydn which is something he couldn't bare to do as him and Michelle worked hard to save to be able to buy it.
Michelle also said to Stuart
You keep my boy in this house
In the week beginning 7th September things were not improving for Michelle and it was clear she was getting poorlier and poorlier by the day. The doctor's told Stuart it was the most aggressive cancer they had ever seen.
Few days later things got even worse and Michelle had to be taken to hospital as the pain was too much. Doctors told Stuart that they could only make her comfy and she had a matter of days.
On the 12th September at 9pm our brave and beautiful girl lost her battle with this horrible disease.
She fought so hard for so many years, but now she is finally out of pain and at peace.
She leaves a loving doting husband in Stuart and a beautiful brave 13yr old son Haydn.
Any support that can be given to this wonderful family would be very much appreciated.
