Kellie aged 38 who is suffering with terminal cancer

Donation protected
Kellie, aged just 38 is losing her fight against cancer. She is now terminally ill and is facing leaving her young family too soon.

Kellie has fought cancer before but it has returned only this time it’s rapidly spreading fast around her body. It is too close to her heart and Lungs to remove surgically, it is in her lymph nodes. and was told this week it had spread to EVERY vertebrae in her spine AND in her brain in the form of 6 tumours. This cancer is terminal and even more inspiring is Kellie is STILL WORKING despite all she is going through and she has worked all the way through her cancer journey but her many hospital appointments are unpaid days off. She is still going into work on days that’s she should be at home because of her financial worries. Kellies husband has had to take time off work unpaid and is likely to have to have more time off as kellie’s condition deteriorates and she needs that extra help at home.

The help from this page will allow Kellie and her family to stress a little less and to enjoy much needed quality time together as they have no idea how much time they have left together.

No amount of money will change Kellie’s situation but it could ease some of the financial worries.

Kellie has always been hard working, strong and very independent. She has never been one to ask anyone for help but always willing to help others. In all the time I have known Kellie I have never known her to ask for anything off anyone and as stubborn as she is it is now the time that she is in need of support.

It all started in April 2020 when Kellie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Due to Covid restrictions Kellie attended her appointments alone and was alone when she was told of her diagnosis. In May 2020 the breast was removed and Kellie underwent DIEP surgery. Again due to Covid restrictions Kellie went through it alone and wasn’t allowed any visitors. The road to recovery was long and difficult and it didn’t help that Kellie discovered she was allergic to chemotherapy. This was a huge blow to Kellie and affected her treatment options. Like many people going through cancer Kellie lost all of her hair. Kellie has always had long thick blonde hair and it was her pride and joy. She was so happy when it started to grow back and she had started to get her life back together.

Before her diagnosis Kellie was already reeling from the sad news that her dad had been diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer and after Kellie’s surgery she was saddened to hear that her sister had also been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Kellie remained strong and positive for all of her family. Thinking of others despite having her own battles.

In January 2024 Kellie and her family after all they had been through was cruelly and selfishly kicked out of their home and left homeless.

Whilst living in someone else’s box room Kellie was told the devastating news that her dad had passed away. What more could go wrong?
But Kellie being the strong woman that she is continued to stay positive and to laugh and joke about her lack of good luck.

In April 2024 Kellie attended a routine mammogram appointment to be told her cancer as returned to her chest wall. She optimistically asked “can we just cut it out?” Only this time surgery wasn’t going to be an option. Kellie was told the devastating news that the cancer is too close to her heart and Lungs to remove and had also spread to her lymph nodes. This cancer is terminal.

August 2024 Kellie has now been told that the cancer has spread to every vertebrae of her spine and has also spread to her brain causing her to have 6 tumours on the brain. After all this sad news the one thing that has really affected Kellie is that she can no longer drive. The fiercely independent woman has had her independence taken away.

Please help Kellie with a donation no matter how small and every bit of help will be greatly appreciated.
