Firstly …….Thank you for joining our page! #togetherfordebbie Debbie is a 50-year-old mother of two, who is not just a beacon of hope to her children Lorenzo and Lilia, but is also a soul mate to her lifelong partner Barry and a devoted friend to many in the local community in Hook, Hampshire. In fact, as founder of ‘Happy Hounds of Hook’ even our furry friends all know and love Auntie Debbie! No one who has met Debbie could fail to be touched by her laughter, her generous spirit and her sheer love of life! But in March 2024, Debbie and her family received a devasting diagnosis of stage 4 bowel cancer, and the news that Debbie’s cancer has spread to her liver and uterus. The NHS team at Basingstoke Hospital have been fantastic, but the standard chemotherapy they offer provides limited hope. NHS surgery is not possible at this point and the urgency to explore more advanced, private healthcare solutions has become evident. Debbie’s family have found a leading Professor at the Imperial College and Cleveland Clinic in London who has an international reputation for the treatment of bowel cancers that require advanced therapies. He may be able to offer Debbie cutting-edge treatment that could cure or significantly extend Debbie’s life, providing her with precious time to watch her children grow and to continue being the cornerstone of their lives. While we await the next step of Debbie’s treatment and how we move forward we hope you will follow her story and help us in our quest to get Debbie the treatment she so urgently needs. We will keep you updated. In the meantime please share her story and help us spread awareness on bowel cancer. #bowelcancerawareness #bowelcanceruk #hampshire #togetherfordebbie
