FINDING OUT
2025 was looking to be another wonderful year for the Wickham family, we all spent the most wonderful Christmas and New Year together. Whilst here Katie asked me if I noticed a lump on her neck, which I hadn't before.
After this discovery Katie has been through numerous scans and tests to establish the problem and unfortunately it was the big 'C' diagnoses that all of us had been hoping would not be the case. In March Katie had her tonsils removed as this was shown to be the primary site of the Cancer, however further tests have shown that cancer is still present in the margins and there is now secondary cancer in her lymph node which they are not willing to remove.
As you all know I have been on quite the discovery in my own health journey and so I started rigorously investigating cancer care and treatment, which was a bit of a minefield to say the least. But, the more I read, the more I was introduced to the abundance of holistic treatments now being used in the treatment of cancer as an alternative to the seemingly damaging and life changing affects of more traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments.
In no way is this a tirade against modern day treatment and I know full well how many people have been through effective and healing treatment from the NHS.
THE OPTIONS
However, I really really want to give Katie the opportunity to heal from within and opt for holistic treatment as a starting point to become cancer free for life and avoid the alarming potential consequences of having radio and chemo in her throat region, which include but are not limited to: loss of taste; change of voice; potential loss of voice; inability to eat solid foods; loss of ability to swallow; loss of hearing; dry mouth; chronic fatigue....the list goes on. All unimaginable for us lucky enough to still be healthy and enjoy these really simple things in life that so many of us take for granted.
A WAY FORWARD
Katie has since sought assistance from one of the best holisitic clinics, The Health Fusion Clinic in Barnet with Ilan Slazenger, who have helped people with Katie's condition heal fully without the need for Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. https://www.healthfusionclinic.com/
Katie has decided with all her heart that this is the way to go for now to give her the best possible chance for long term survival so that she can survive and thrive for her friends and family.
Obviously this page is to assist with the financial costs associated with this choice of treatment, the amount is big, but if everyone we know could just give a little then we can help relieve the financial burden facing Katie in this journey.
