Nicola’s Breast Cancer Treatment, Help us to Help her

Hi all, I’m Vicki and my goal is to fundraise for my coragious best friend Nicola and her ongoing battle with breast cancer.

10 years after battling and beating breast cancer in her left breast, On November 14th 2023, Nicola was devastatingly diagnosed once again with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in the right breast.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, the cancer had already spread to nearby lymph nodes and would require a grueling 7 rounds of chemotherapy prior to surgery.

By the last round Nicola’s body was very tired and worn down and unfortunately this resulted in Neutropenic Sepsis and Shock which required treatment, resulting in delays in possible surgery options for a mastectomy.

Despite everyone’s hopes that the end was in sight, while recovering from her recent treatment,In just 3 weeks, Nicola’s cancer grew a brand new tumour and the breast began to display signs of inflammatory breast cancer. The breast had become inoperable and so the only option was to go back onto chemo for a further 5 months!

This new course of Chemo,which at first, showed signs of partial improvement suddenly stopped working.

On Thursday 7th November 2024, Nicola was given the devastating news that her cancer has spread across to the left breast, further across the lymph node system in the right breast, but worse still, it has spread to her bones, collar bone, spine and pelvis!!!

Now what?

Due to the rarity and aggression of Nicola’s cancer

She had requested a referral to The Royal Marsden in London, a cancer specialist hospital, for a second opinion prior to the latest news of the spread. Unfortunately The Royal Marsden are not currently taking NHS patients outside their area!

I mean give a girl a god damn break!!!

So here we are, options are limited, time is of the essence! The saying ‘Each day Counts’ could not be anymore accurate at this point!

She needs help! We need help!

Nicola desperately needs to source a private referral for her cancer, for her future, for her family and for her life!!

She needs the best team of Dr's and the reality is that this comes at a price.

Please help me to raise whatever I can to support a private referral and any possible treatment for our girl.

Every donation gives hope for treatment x
