My Mum was diagnosed with cervical cancer when I was 2 years old, thankfully she was one of the lucky ones and is still here over 30 years later. A very close family friend was diagnosed with breast cancer which eventually spread to her bones, she fought hard for 6 years before eventually passing away on her birthday. 11 years ago my Father In Law was told he had high grade soft tissue sarcoma, this type of cancer is rare. He had major surgery to remove the tumour, he was cancer free for 9 years, very rare for this type of cancer. Then in July 2017 it came back. He then had major surgery again to remove the tumour in October 2017. He hasn't been so lucky this time, the cancer has decided to come back with a vengeance after only 1 year. This time around it's not looking good for him as it has come back so quickly, this cancer is aggressive, chemotherapy and radiotherapy make no difference. Please dig deep and donate to help this amazing cause.
