Just me and my Dog
During the diagnosis & treatment process things can naturally become scary and intense, to point, you just need some time to recharge and relax. Who is better to share that with than your biggest friend and fan. This is Emma’s story:
“April 2025, the month my life as i knew it was about to take an unexpected and incredibly scary change in direction. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and after a number of scans the oncologist broke the news that the cancer had spread to surrounding lymph nodes and my liver.
Next came a daze of every emotion possible along with many appointments and hospital visits I was booked into have stoma surgery in May which would then be followed by intense radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
It was at my first chemo session that the amazing staff at the Chatsfield Suite told me about The Eve Merton Dreams Trust and referred me to them. Very quickly I received a call from a lovely dream coordinator called Lauren, who asked me what would help me with my treatment pathway and make things a little more bearable.
Anyone who knows me knows I love to take solo breaks with my dog Jeff and the Peak District is one of my favourite places to visit.
Lauren sent me over some options and beautiful cabin in Ashbourne caught my eye. Within a matter of days our 3 Night break was booked and paid for, for once i cried happy tears and just couldn’t believe that something so thoughtful and incredible existed. I knew nothing about Evestrust prior to starting treatment and I hope anyone reading this can help share and create awareness of their existence.
Jeff and I had a wonderful relaxing break in a beautiful setting. I’m forever grateful to the chemo nurses and Evestrust for making this happen and so easily. I’m keen to get more involved with EvesTrust once my treatment is complete
Thank you so much from Emma and Jeff 🐶 💙xxx”
