NI mother-of-five pleads for help to fight devastating 12-months to live breast cancer diagnosis - ‘I am not ready to go yet’

The GoFundMe organised this week by Kelly Dubdha, from County Londonderry, aims to raise £3,000.

Already almost £2,000 has been raised.

Explaining her crisis, Kelly says: “I have recently been battling breast cancer.

“Because of covid restrictions it was decided that I have a double mastectomy, followed by 8 gruelling sessions of chemotherapy.

“Unfortunately after receiving chemo, cancer often comes back twice as aggressive.

“I still went through all the treatment and was given the wonderful news that i was all clear ..devastatingly only 7 weeks later after my routine checkup, they discovered that the cancer was back at stage 4 in my chest wall, liver and lungs”.

She adds: “The prognosis I was given was 12 months left to live.”

Kelly adds that she is a single mother of five chilren and “I want to be around for all the milestones that i took for granted”.

“I can’t and won’t accept that my children will be without me in 12 short months,” she adds.

“I am not ready to go yet. I have things I need to do first.”

The loving mother adds: “My love for my children is stronger than this disease..

“So please if you can help fund me to reach my target to find this treatment and to help others who may benefit from it ..

“And if you don’t have the means please pray for me and others who are fighting this battle .

“Thank you so much for taking time to read this.

“Lots of love

Kells xx”
