Kelly's Story:
My name is Kelly Stabb & I am 39 Years old. I am married to Simon and we have 2 lovely boys. Jake is 10 Years old and Luke is 8.

You may have already seen my story on various social networking sites, when diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer in 2017 I had decided I would try and help and support those who try to detect, cure and prevent this dreadful disease. Together with everyone’s support we raised over £35,000 in 8 months for Bowel Cancer West, £5000 of that I have donated to the Ricky Grant Unit at Torbay hospital. Thank you so much to those that donated or supported me in anyway x.

Things have changed dramatically for me in the last few months. I believed I was curable until receiving the devastating news in February this year that the cancer had spread to various parts of my body. I am so desperate I don’t know what else to do. When I began fundraising for BCW I believed after chemotherapy things could be ok, I couldn’t have been anymore further from reality. I am now reaching the end of standard care treatment; my condition is only getting worse and my oncologist has said that I potentially have several years. How long is that? I keep thinking “I’m a wife and a mum to two young boys. They shouldn’t have to consider not having me around. Mums and Dads are always there for their children. That’s our job”. After being able to run half marathons and more, I now struggle to walk short distances.

A recent prognosis from a doctor in America told me a person in my condition may survive 30 months from date of diagnosis. My diagnosis was in January 2017 (18 months ago).
