Becca's best life!

Hi! My name’s Becca and I’m raising money to help me live my best life whilst living with incurable, triple negative breast cancer.

I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 where I had a lumpectomy, and went through eight rounds of brutal chemotherapy as well as four weeks of radiotherapy.

Despite this, I was still able to conceive and in 2019 I welcomed my little bundle of joy, Renly.

However, in 2020 I was devastated to find out I’d relapsed. I had a mastectomy which had a whopping 10cm tumour and the recovery from this was very tough; three months of chemotherapy and more radiotherapy. I was only classed as NED (no evidence of disease) for one year before discovering in 2022 the cancer had returned in several lymph nodes in my armpit, chest and neck.

So, I’m no longer curable but it is treatable; although my cancer is triple negative, it’s more aggressive and there is less treatment available. I had a PDL1 test done to see if my body would respond to immunotherapy and sadly the result was negative.

For the foreseeable I’m on chemotherapy tablets, basically until they stop working. Fortunately these don’t cause too many side effects so I can try to live my life as normal as possible.

While I’m well and not on any toxic treatment, my amazing friends and family have asked if there’s anything they can do to help. Flowers, cards, gifts etc. are very well meaning, but I’ve been living with this long enough to know what actually helps.

What’s better than flowers? Seeing more of the world :)

That’s why I’m asking for donations to help me get some things ticked off the bucket list. For example, I’d absolutely love to make some happy memories and take Renly to Lapland for Christmas, or maybe Disney World. I'd also love to go to an only fools and horses convention and do a butlins weekender!

Any donation big or small would be amazing, and you’d be helping me and my family make the most of this life, whatever it throws our way.
