Not a lot the NHS can give her though.A clinical trial and the offer of a few rounds of chemo is about as far as anyone can go with stage 4 lung cancer.

Most terminal cancer patients use that line as a defence mechanism.No one wants to accept they are royally screwed.I have heard those lines before by people in similar situations and it is better than people panicking and getting withdrawn and depressed by a prognosis.Although I almost certainly would fall into the latter category if I were in such a situation as I am by nature a pessimist.

But in her case she asked for money to go some quack in Germany. Her appearance helps to legitimise such folly. There are many examples of people who decide to accept fate and live life to the last, without having to resort to higher plane of consciousness nonsense. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,327 Posted February 25, 2017 From what I have read on her gofundme page she is now on a clinical trial from the NHS and is going to use the money when that stops working.That is me reading behind the lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well she did seem more resigned to her situation in the interview.She says she doesn`t want to know how long she probably has but I bet she has googled it.Only 14% of those diagnosed at her stage live for a year and between 1 and 2 % last 5 years.

the_engineer 1,415 Posted February 26, 2017 She will make it until next year IMO . The medication she is on now is working , with the opportunity for more medical treatment after that stops working to extend her life. 5 months on she is a little more skinny but she doesn't look like someone on deaths door maybe more like in deaths garden . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When that "assess your DDP team" thing happened last March, 5 of the 6 picks both myself and Death Impends suggested were "unlikely" wound up being DDP scores for both of us! Bracknell's a goner this year for me, circa July/August. She's got the Maccorkingdale look about her in that interview above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
