Kerry’s Fight Against Cancer

A little update on Kerry’s condition.

Today Kerry has been given the dreadful news that her cancer has spread in her brain.

Now unfortunately there is nothing more that can be done. Kerry has been given a prognosis of 3 months life span.

Obviously her family and friends are absolutely devastated.

We would now like to raise as much money as we possibly can for this lovely young family to make lifelong memories together.

Please, please if your able too donate no matter how small.

Hi everyone,

We are fundraising for a close friend to try other treatments for incurable cancer.

Kerry is 39, she has 3 beautiful children. 2 boys who are 10 & 12 years old and a beautiful little girl who is 22 months. Kerry has been married to her doting husband Matt for 8 years. Both boys are diagnosed with Autism whilst her 10 year old also has severe ADHD. Both boys require a lot of care and attention.

Kerry nursed her mum until the very end who sadly passed after a short fight with cancer herself in March 2023. Kerry was then also earlier this year diagnosed with a rare cancer called Mucosal Melanoma with only a 14% survival rate of longer than 5 years. Kerry has been receiving Immunotherapy to try and control the cancer in order to give her a longer chance of life. The first few rounds of treatment landed Kerry in hospital with severe reactions fighting for her life. The most severe reaction ended up with neuropathic sepsis from the treatment and Kerry spent a 2 week stay in hospital where they had to stop immunotherapy for a while. Kerry was then on strong steroids which she had to wean herself off before immunotherapy could proceed.

Kerry recovered from sepsis and started immunotherapy again, this time round her body didn’t react to it and she felt and looked the best she had in months. Kerry celebrated her sons 10th birthday in August but was saying her eyes felt constantly watery and glazed over and after speaking to doctors they sent kerry for a head scan. This revealed that the cancer had now in fact spread to her brain.

Kerry is now waiting to find out wether they are able to treat her at all.

This has caused huge financial strain on the whole family. Kerry has now had to medically retire from her job she loved and her husband Matt is having to take several days at a time off work to help out at home due to Kerry been very poorly at times.

After intense research, Kerry has found drugs from America that has proven to kill cancer cells and would like to try alternatives in order to give her the best chance of beating this and living long enough to watch her young children grow into adults. Although these treatments are available they come at a huge cost and that is what the money from this fundraiser will be used for.

Edited to add, for anyone who knows Kerry and her family personally the seriousness of Kerry’s condition can not be discussed or revealed to any of her children as the family have decided for them not to know at this time. Thank you all for your kind donations so far and thank you all for sharing, I appreciate you all ❤️
