Help to reduce financial stress whilst I recover

On Saturday 29th of July whilst on a family day out in New Brighton

I popped into Morrisons toilet for a life changing wee. I found that my left testicle had changed shape completely, it felt very different.

My family were waiting outside for me to return to the fun of the summer fair.

My partner instantly knew there was something wrong as I came out of the store. She asked me,

What’s up? You do not look right.

The hardest 5 words I have ever had to say…

I have found a lump.

Since that day, our lives have been an absolute chaotic mixture of emotions, stress & anxieties.

I contacted My GP first thing Monday morning I was examined and appointments were made at the Countess of Chester Hospital for bloods, ultrasound scans and to meet the consultant urologist who confirmed from the results that the lump on my testicle was a 35mm tumour as of August 11th.

He told me bluntly and in detail what needed to happen next.

I have deposited a sample of my seed to a fertility clinic in Liverpool, just in case I become infertile through treatment.

I would love another child one day and to have that option taken from me would have been completely heart breaking.

on Tuesday 22nd of August I will under go Radical Orchidectomy surgery.

The procedure involves removal of my testicle, through a groin incision, for suspected testicular cancer. Removal of the entire testicle allows full examination of the growth, and accurate assessment of a possible cancer.

I have spent many amazing years helping my clients and their dogs grow in confidence, using my own methods of training. I work in all weathers with a smile on my face as this was always my dream job.

From a very early age I have been completely obsessed with dogs. I have rescued, bought and taken dogs into my own care for over 24 years.

I am extremely passionate about Canine mental health and the steps we should take as their companions to meet their individual needs.

I offer Behavioural Assessments, 1:1 Training, Group Training, Vet Visits and the occasional overnight stay.

To say I love my job would be an understatement.

I had the results back from my biopsy on September 10th. It is Cancer. I have been referred to Clatterbridge hospital for treatment.

I would love to ease the stress of this in any way that I can, so that I can make a full recovery and return to serving my local communities.

Any donations made will be transferred to our bank, to help with expenses and bills.

thank you on behalf of my little family ❤️
