Yes to Life - Special Appeal - Opening Up Alternatives for People With Cancer

Pascale Brunier

I have been fighting a rare cancer for 4 years and have had several major surgeries, chemotherapies and radiotherapy on my journey.

Initially, shortly after surgery, I was given weeks to live being told I probably would not see my daughters reach adulthood. Breaking the news to them was heart breaking as we had been a close family unit together particularly since raising them singlehandedly from the ages of 9 and 11. Despite the main shock of dealing with my impending death my main panic was how my girls would cope...

Racheal Mullen

My name is Racheal Mullen and I'm 38 years old. I am married to Chris and we have three beautiful children - Jamie (nine), Ruby (six), and Kitty (two) - who are the centre of our world.

In June 2009, that world came crashing down around us with the terrible news that I had Ocular Melanoma (a cancerous tumour in the eye). For three years prior to this diagnosis, I had complained of severe headaches and disturbance to my vision. I was initially informed that this was nothing more than migraine, and was later treated with a drug used for epilepsy.

Eva Bendall

I was 38 when I was first diagnosed with grade 3 inflammatory breast cancer in June 2007. This is a rare and extremely aggressive type of disease and I soon also discovered that the cancer cells were in the lymph nodes in the neck area. I was 7 weeks pregnant and the cancer was highly hormonally receptive, which meant that in order to fight for my life I had to make a very difficult decision not to have the baby at that time.

Karen Maycey

Karen was 37 when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July 2008. A second round of surgery the following month revealed the cancer had metastasised (spread) to a lymph node in her armpit.

Since November she has been on a rigorous detox and supplement programme which is boosting her immune system, detoxifying and alkalising her body, and making her body cancer unfriendly. The integrated treatment has been helping her regain her strength, but her cancer is still there. Karen needs your help to continue treatment that is not funded by the NHS.

Anne Lane

Anne Lane, 35 was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer when she was 26 weeks pregnant with her second child in June 2008. The devastating news led to some difficult decisions. An invasive drug therapy could not be undertaken without severe risk to her unborn child. Since April 2009, she has been seeking funds to continue her treatment that is not funded by the NHS. The integrated cancer treatment has been helping Anne regain her strength, but her cancer is still there - biding its time, waiting to strike again. Anne is dedicated to taking on her cancer, and she needs your help...

Tom Offer

Tom was a healthy 14yr old avid rugby player when he was diagnosed with a bone tumour in July 2007. The cancerous bone in Tom's leg was removed in October 2007, but during his treatment secondary tumours were found on his lung. Now in a wheelchair, he had to receive extensive physiotherapy and he will never be able to play any sport. Tom has received costly alternative therapies to help him recover from both the disease and the chemotherapy.

Please help raise funds for Tom to help him reach a full recovery and grow into a fine young adult.

Elisabetta Fumagalli

Elisabetta Fumagalli is a 48 year old mother to a teenager, home educator, and works for a charity as a support worker for children and families. She is involved with her local community and helps to organise a yearly arts festival.

In October 2007, Elisabeta suddenly found that her left breast had swelled up and when it receded she noticed a large lump. The lump persisted and in January 2008 after revisiting her GP, it was confirmed she had cancer...
