Two years ago, Tabitha’s world turned upside down when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian cancer – a type of cancer that usually affects older women and can obviously have lasting effects.

For a 16 year old girl, who loved her fitness, this was utterly devastating.  With a tumour that weighed 2kg, she quickly underwent 7 hours of surgery, which was then followed by ongoing and intensive treatment which caused hair loss.  She was left weak, unmotivated and in pain but with her incredible attitude, support from family & close friends, as well as a charity called PASIC Cancer Support, she finished her final round of chemo in March 2021 and is now doing really well.

PASIC Cancer Support

This project supports families of children and young people living with cancer in the East Midlands. They provide respite, trips and activities to help when a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer. They give young people the chance to have fun, spend quality family time together, and meet others going through cancer treatment.
