Tierney Kinsella's life saving cancer treatment
In 2015 I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive teenage bone cancer. I had 8 months of intense chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumour in my femur bone, a knee replacement and prosthesis.
I found out in November 2016 I had many small nodules in my lungs which were were removed with surgery. After that everything was fine until September 2017 when I found out my cancer had returned and I had two large tumours in my lungs. I had yet again more intense chemotherapy, and one third of my lung removed in order to remove my tumours.
In April 2018, after two and a half years, I thought this would finally be the end and I could have my life back. However, in September 2018 I found out my cancer had come back again and was inoperable.
I am currently having chemotherapy, and I'm on a trial drug which is keeping everything stable - for now. However, I have been advised by an oncologist in America that specialised immunotherapy vaccines could be life saving for me. This treatment is in Germany and it is very expensive, which is why I desperately need to raise the money.
Even if you can't donate anything please share this, I would be so grateful.
Thank you.
Love Tierney x

A message from my mum, dad and sister:
Hello everyone,
Our family are still being completely overwhelmed by the love and support of friends, family and complete strangers. And the generosity of everyone who has helped Tierney get closer to her target; young, old and in between! This time last week I had no idea how I was going to raise such a huge amount. Tierney is really feeling the love surrounding her, as we all are. The continued support in sharing Tierney’s story means the world. Tierney’s treatment will be over 2 years and she has a long journey ahead of her. There is no quick fix for cancer and unfortunately osteosarcoma is a very complex cancer. Tierney WILL get better and it’s all thanks to you! All our love Juli, Steve, Tasha and most of all Tierney xxx
