02 Aug Woman Takes Drastic Steps In Last-Ditch Bid To Beat Cancer

Over the course of our lives, it’s overwhelmingly likely that we – or someone we know – will have to endure the pain of cancer. In 2014, there were 350,000 new incidences of cancer in the United Kingdom (equivalent to 980 cases a day), and around half of those who contract the disease survive it for at least 10 years.

That survival rate has doubled over the past 40 years, and that’s in part down to an improvement in cancer treatment. As effective as this treatment has proven, unfortunately there are some people who simply can’t afford the consultations and chemotherapy required to fight the disease.

Back in 2015, Lisa Harris from Gateshead in the northeast of England was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and since then, she has sold her house and spent a great deal of her pension in order to pay for the treatment that she requires.

Now, Lisa has ran out of money, but the support of her family may just be enough to keep her going. 26-year-old daughter Lori has joined the fight against ovarian cancer, selling her possessions in an attempt to save her mother’s life.
