A MOTHER who has been diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer is hoping to raise money to pay for revolutionary treatment which is not available on the NHS.
Tracy McPhee Travers, 36, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January last year.
She was told by doctors it had spread to her lungs in January this year, and that there was no more they could do. She is now in a race against time to raise money for treatment known as PDL1 Immunotherapy.
The problem is it costs £25,000 per session and is not available on the NHS. Her family and friends are now rallying round to raise the cash. To donate, visit http://www.gofundme.com/twhdq8
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
