Hi my name is Emily Nicholson, I’m 24 years old and battling terminal brain cancer.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. It’s ok if you don’t want donate , all I ask is you share please . Xx.
This is my story xxx.

Back in 2012 I emigrated with my family, mum dad and brother to Perth Western Australia.
I had just turned 18 and life was amazing,I worked so hard to get where I was. My first home, driving licence and a great job, amazing friends and  things were looking good.
Then in February 2016 only 3 months into my new independence my whole life changed. I had my first of 4 seizures, I lost everything, my home , driving licence and job as I couldn’t drive anymore. I moved back home
and had surgery in August, they found an Astrocytoma Grade 3 wild gene. Classed as high grade brain cancer, completely devastated. 


I became very sick over Christmas and in January was told it was terminal and gave me 12-18 months. I took to Facebook to tell all my friends and family the devastating news. There response was amazing, straight away they started fundraising to get me back for a holiday and one last party and believe me they like a party.

Three weeks later we came back to York, home sweet home. 
Our time back in York was so special, I didn’t want it to stop. As soon as we got back to Perth, I told mum and dad I didn’t want to die in Australia so they put the house up for sale. Even my amazing brother Matthew turned down a place at university so we could all be together, he is an awesome brother .
It’s been 18 months since we’ve been back. We lost everything, mum and dad were declared banckrupt because they couldn’t sell the house quick enough. Matthew was refused student funding to go to university as he has to be here for 3 years and has his own tumour scare, they are monitoring his. We were given a council house from York City Council, which we can’t thank them enough as we were 2 weeks away from being homeless. Through all this I was having daily maintenance chemo, it made me really sick. 
We got through all this because we love each other and won’t give up.
But my biggest battle has begun, the cancer has spread to apart of my brai n that they can’t get too. I spent most of Christmas in hospital trying to get strong for the fight ahead , I lost use of my left side and facial palsy. 

My only hope now is to be well enough to get to Germany for immunotherapy vaccine, but it’s very expensive. 
We will be selling everything we have to go towards the cost but need your help. 
Brain cancer kills more children and young people under the age of forty than any other cancer .YET it receives less than 1 percent of funding. 
If you can’t do that’s ok, please share.
THANK YOU FOR READING OUR STORY, lOVE AND PRAYERS 
EMILY , MATTHEW, JOANNE and MARTIN XXXX
