Story
Cancer is happening right now, which is why we are taking part in a Race for Life to raise money and save lives. On the 26th July 2018 Alice was diagnosed with follicular carcinoma right thyroid lobe. Thyroid cancer is when abnormal cells in the thyroid gland start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. Without treatment, cancer cells can eventually grow into surrounding healthy tissues and may spread to other areas of the body. Thyroid cancer is quite rare. In 2015, around 3,500 people were diagnosed in the UK. It’s more common in women than in men. After two operations and radio iodine treatment things are looking positive! Please donate as little or as much as you can to help support cancer research.
