My name is Caira Ryan, and I am 38 years old. I live with my loving partner, Darran, and our precious 4-year-old son, Kyrie. I have been diagnosed with recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer, which has now progressed to stage 4. The cancer has metastasized to the lymph nodes under my arm and neck, both lungs, a bone in my spine, a bone in my pelvis, and my brain.

The tumor in my breast is fungating, meaning it has grown through the skin, creating an ulcerated wound. This causes me constant pain, and I rely on regular pain medication under palliative care just to get through each day and continue being a mum to Kyrie.

I’ve started on a targeted drugs to try and manage the cancer, but unfortunately, it does not target the brain, and it is not enough on its own. I urgently need additional treatment to give me the best chance of managing this disease.

Initially, I considered travelling to Mexico for treatment. However, after extensive research and discussions with my family, we’ve decided that Europe is the better option for several important reasons:

Why Europe?

• Closer to Home: Europe is much closer than Mexico, which means less travel stress, fewer logistical challenges, and the ability to access treatment sooner. Being closer to home also allows my family to support me during this journey.

• Lower Costs: The cost of treatment in Europe is significantly lower than in Mexico, allowing me to reduce my fundraising target from €70,000 to €55,000. This makes the goal more achievable, so I can begin treatment as soon as possible.

• Advanced Treatments: Europe offers cutting-edge cancer therapies that combine advanced medical technology with holistic care. The clinics in Europe are known for their innovative, personalised approaches to treating cancer, giving me hope for the best possible outcomes.

What the Funds Will Cover

The funds raised will cover the cost of:

• Travel expenses to Europe

• A personalised treatment protocol designed specifically for my condition

• Potential hospital stays, therapies, and follow-up care

• Holistic support to manage the disease and improve my quality of life

Time is not on my side, and I need to raise these funds urgently to access life-saving treatment in Europe.

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to my goal. Your generosity can give me the chance to heal, regain my health, and continue being a mum to Kyrie and a partner to Darran.

I am deeply grateful for the support I have received so far, and I promise to keep everyone updated on my progress. Together, we can make this possible and give me the hope I so desperately need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
