I will only stop raising awareness for Charlotte and brain cancer when I take my last breath. Until then, I will keep fighting for her, for others, for change. Please RT/Follow with thanks Charlotte 18.2.97 - 24.2.2016 aged 19 years 5 days

One RT if you know what glioblastoma is just to see how many people have heard of it. My beautiful and only daughter died from this cruel disease 9 years ago on Monday. She was 19 & should have had her whole life ahead of her. More awareness is desperately needed.

Been 2 breast clinic was examined by consultant all normal but had mammogram/ultrasound happy 2 say all normal just healing cavity where tumour was & scar tissue that needs time 2 fully mature/settle Go 4 your mammogram a bit uncomfortable but better than discovering advanced breast cancer.

Heading back 2 the breast clinic tomorrow Surgery on 14/6/2024 for a 13mm ER carcinoma I’ve been on a brain cancer journey with my daughter but my breast cancer is new territory Hope it’s just scar tissue though it feels tender and lumpy. If you’re called for a mammogra go. Early detection matters.

HOW YOUR DONATIONS HAVE BEEN SPENT We have used C BAG funds 2 invest in Oxford Nanopore Tech this enables rapid DNA sequencing & data analysis in real time although still early results look v promising & should enable a full tumour classification in under 2 hrs of sample being taken in surgery

In 2016 I lost my daughter Charlotte my mother & my aunt all in less than 5 weeks The biggest loss was Charlotte. At just 19, she had her whole life ahead of her. While my mother and aunt were both in their 90s, I never truly grieved for them. The weight of losing my child overshadowed everything.

When people look at headstones, they often focus on the dates of birth and death. But the most important part is the dash in the middle. An entire life everything they were, everything they did reduced to a one-inch line carved in stone. Charlotte 18.2.97 - 24.2.16

A lovely surprise today. One of my bereaved students went to London over the break. He wanted to buy me something to say Thank You for all the support I have given him. It's the small things that mean so much.

Looking back, I’m glad I don’t have a diary entry for every single day of Charlotte’s brain tumour journey. At first, I thought this absence might mean I missed something or failed to capture every moment. But over time, I’ve realised that it means something else entirely: some days were normal.
