I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. I'm a single mum of 2 and my kids, aged 11 and 12 are my whole life.

I'm 37 years old and have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. I've always worked and having been out of work for the past 8 months I'm struggling to support my kids and even had to use food banks while waiting on PIP and universal credit 

I just want to be able to get through the next year doing as much as I can with my children to make memories as every day really does count.  I haven't told my children yet although that day us now fast approaching as I'm waiting on a date for surgery to remove part of my upper bowel and will have an ileostomy.  

I've never been so scared in my life and feel like everything has been taken from me and my children's innocence will shortly be gone too as this disease takes hold of me.  

Anyway that's why I'd like you to support me and my children so that we can make a lifetime of memories and ease the Financial burden of not being able to work. 

I haven't posted a picture as family don't know
