Natalie Pooles Bucket List

NATALIE SADLY PASSED AWAY ON 5th JULY 2014. THANKYOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND DONATIONS. NATALIES BIGGEST WISH WAS FOR HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER CHLOE TO GO TO COLLEGE AND THEN UNIVERSITY. ANY MONEY RAISED WILL HELP MAKE THIS WISH COME TRUE, SO PLEASE KEEP ON GIVING. THANKYOU, ALANA xxxxxxxx

 

In August 2013 I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. Along my journey I met two incredible ladies on the chemotheraphy ward at The Christie.  Louise and Natalie have been a huge inspiration and their strength has been incredible. We have become amazing friends and are now 'The 3 Musketeers'.   

Natalie unfortunately has had the hardest journey. After being diagnosed with Advanced Stage 4a Cervical Cancer in July 2013 aged just 33 years old, Natalie received 6 weeks of intensive Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. And amazingly in December she was given the all clear!! This was short lived and Natalie continued to struggle with pain and discomfort. Then in January 2014 Natalie was told her cancer was back and it was extremely aggressive. She has battled numerous infections, one after another and was then told that she would need to undergo drastic pelvical surgery to help give her a chance to fight the disease. In February after spending months in The Christie Natalie went in for surgery. She was immediately taken to The Critical Care Unit. Her bowel was removed along with a full radical hysterectomy, pelvic wall removal and removal of the anal passage and vaginal passage . Natalie was left with 2 nephrostomy bags and a colostomy bag. Natalie battled on hoping the surgery had been successful in giving her hope for the future. Again this wasnt to be. The surgeons told Natalie that they couldn't get the clearance on the tissues they were hoping for. As Natalie's cancer is so aggressive , her cancer will return quickly. Natalie is receiving palliative care and she may not be well enough to receive anymore treatment, this now means what time Natalie has left with us is unknown.  

Through Natalies horrific journey where most people would have given up, Natalie carried on fighting and has raised an incredible amount of awareness for cervical Cancer and through an amazing charity event has also raised more than  £17,000 for The Christie and Jos Cervical Trust. Now is our time to show our love and support to Natalie. If you can donate anything at all towards Natalies bucket list and to help make what time she has left with her friends and family as special as possible that would be hugely appreciated. Also any suggestions on anything Natalie can add to her bucket list would be great.   Thankyou everyone 

Alana & Louise xxxx
