Hi...!

My name is Jo, or Jojo as lots of people call me, I am 38 years old and live in lovely Weston-super-Mare...

2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer, after months of horrible symptoms. Thank goodness that my fiancé pushed me to go to the doctor, which is something I really struggle with.

I have mental health and physical disabilities which have stopped me working for years, and 3 years ago I met my soul mate Jay, who has helped me so much, to feel better in myself and believe in life again...

We got engaged about a year and a half ago, and we have been trying to save up for our wedding but life is hard and expensive and we are no closer to getting married unfortunately.

Next week I will start my course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, then in spring I will have surgery to remove the tumour. I will have a permanent colostomy bag, will more than likely need more chemo, and will go through early menopause.

We don't have children, and even though it is something that we hadn't planned for due to my mental health, it has come as a sad shock to know that I really won't be able to have children now, it was something that was always at the back of my mind, that someday I might feel well enough to have my own little family with Jay.

Now more than ever I am dreaming about marrying Jay, and if I survive this it will be the most wonderful thing I could think of. Jay feels helpless when it comes to my cancer and wants to show me his love and commitment, and I know he is coping with everything at the moment by keeping his eyes on the future and the life we will share together when I am well.

It would be amazing to celebrate our marriage and life itself with our family and friends...I am going to fight this, and no matter what the statistics are I intend to survive and thrive and start living my life with vigour!

It would be so wonderful and amazing and miraculous to know that we have something so wonderful, amazing and miraculous to look forward to! A wedding with our loved-ones and maybe a honeymoon somewhere together, which would be our first holiday together in fact...

Well, thank you for listening, and thank you so much to any kind philanthropists who feel they can help us achieve our dream for the future. I have no idea when I will come out of this hard journey, I just know that having something to look forward to will make the time spent on it so much easier...

Thank you, peace, love and light xxx
