Hi everyone.

Firstly I want to thank you for taking your time to look at my page. I'm doing this as a last resort and need your help. I have finally had to admit defeat and ask for help.

Sadly, on the 04/02/2012 I lost my mum to cancer. she became ill and was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in June 2011. After months of intense treatment we were told everything was positive and the tumour had shrunk significantly and they would go ahead with removing half of her lung in order to completely remove the cancer. However, during this stage we became confused as the cancer then turned out to be a rare type on her chest wall. The Drs were preparing to do a procedure which wasn't even right as the tumour had nothing to do with her lungs. Come December of 2011 she became really ill and ended up in hospital. She came home for Christmas but was scared and upset for most of it as she was worrying about what would happen. She was started on a second lot of chemo at this stage we were told it had spread to her kidneys hence the second lot of treatment. This made her extremely ill and on the 19th January ended up back in hospital. After a few days of being admitted there the Drs told us there was nothing more they could do for her other than to make her comfortable. We eventually got her home, which is where she wanted to be, but sadly was already in her deep sleep and she died 3 days later in my arms! For me, this has been a massive struggle to deal and cope with. I was with my mum when she was told she had stage 3 Lung Cancer and went to every chemo and radiotherapy session with her. This was a daily thing for intense treatment for 6 weeks. When my mum finally passed away, I lost a massive part of me that i will never get back. Apart from being in my heart and a memory i feel lost without her. I can no longer be the strong person i have tried for years to be. I'm not asking for much, and I hate asking full stop.

It has been almost 4 years now and I am struggling on my own to raise funds for a gravestone. It would have been her 50th birthday on 25/10/2015 and wanted to have one laid by then but that's now not possible. Please if you can help by donating as much or as little as you can it would mean the world and more to me. I just can't do it on my Own. For each person that views this page if you have just £1, I would my limit in days. Please share this link. I will update regularly and a personal thank you email will be sent to all that have helped me. A massive thank you in advance. I would also just like to add that any funds available after this has been funded for will be given to Cancer Research. For every person that has already viewed my page, and donated just £1, I'd have already reached my target. You will receive a personal thank you email once you have donated and please keep in mind how grateful I truly am to all that has helped and will help. It will never be forgotten.

Thank you for looking.
