Sara’s Fight

Donation protected
Those of you that have followed Sara’s story will know that in 2018, at the young age of 33, she was diagnosed with primary breast cancer. After gruesome treatment and ringing the bell to be cancer free, Sara received the devastating news in 2022, that her cancer had returned, but this time secondary, stage 4 and incurable.

Sara was told she had extensive cancer throughout multiple bones including ribs, hips, pelvis, sternum, shoulder, femur and spine. The tumours were so advanced on her spine that they had caused huge fractures, which resulted in Sara having major spinal surgery. Sara began treatment, which thankfully kept her stable for 3 years.

Unfortunately a routine CT scan in January 2025 showed some suspicion in her liver, and a further MRI confirmed that Sara’s treatment was no longer working, with huge progression to her liver. Her liver is covered in tumours and the cancer is very aggressive. Her bone marrow is now beginning to fail, leaving us at a very critical stage in Sara’s journey.

Due to all of this, Sara is currently unable to have treatment on the NHS and for this reason, we have been told she does not have long left. But we are not ready to give up!!! We have been researching other treatment options, including integrative and alternative treatments, some of which Sara had already been self-funding. With the severity of the situation now, all of this needs to be increased, and new protocols started, making self-funding unsustainable as all of this costs a lot of money.

From these protocols and treatments, the main aim is to get Sara’s body and bloods in the best possible position to be able to try and push forward with some form of chemo (including consideration of treatment abroad).

Sara has worked hard her whole life. She goes above and beyond for her family and friends, and throughout her cancer journey, has inspired, motivated and provided support and hope to so many people, never wanting anything in return. Now it is our turn to help Sara.

Her loved ones are launching this fundraising campaign to help Sara get the protocols and treatment she needs at this point. Sara’s family and 2 young children are her complete world, and at this crucial stage, she will do anything to have just a little bit more time with them.

Although Sara has been very unwell recently and is experiencing a huge amount of side effects from the disease, she has continued to show the most unbelievable strength, courage and positivity throughout the utmost challenging times and we are so proud of her.

Every penny donated will go directly towards Sara’s treatments and every act of generosity will be deeply appreciated.

Please only donate if you are in a position to. Your positive thoughts, prayers and support are just as important to us. Please share far and wide.

Thank-you from the bottom of our broken hearts

Sara’s loved ones
