My body is entirely my own, and I have complete control over every decision concerning my health.

My name is Teodora. I am a single mum to two wonderful children: my 17-year-old son Yoyo and my 4-year-old daughter Bezoya. They are my whole world and the reason I fight with every last ounce of strength I have left.

I recently found out that I have breast cancer again, which has progressed to stage 4.

That’s why I’m raising funds for urgent treatment in Turkey:

• Revolut tag: queenisis

• IBAN: Teodora Smith – BG21STSA93000024139326

• Or donate to this campaign with no fees!

There is nothing in this world I want more than to see my children grow up, to be there for them at every important moment, and to ensure they have a happy and carefree future. My heart breaks every time my son looks at me with his frightened eyes and asks, ‘Mum, you’ll be all right, won’t you? You always are...’ And my daughter is only four years old; she doesn’t even understand what cancer is, but she desperately needs her mum’s hugs, protection and care every single day.

Hearing this diagnosis is incredibly hard, but despite the complexity of the situation, my determination to fight with all my might remains unbreakable.

Stage four means a long journey that requires comprehensive treatment, faith and support from my closest loved ones. Getting through this ordeal requires strong and steadfast support.

At the moment, I am unable to work. I am facing a long and gruelling course of hormone-blocking treatment, the side effects of which – including complete exhaustion, joint pain and sudden changes in my condition, make it impossible for me to work whilst also looking after my 4-year-old daughter.

• Peace of mind and coverage of daily living costs: so that I can cope with the symptoms of hormone treatment without my children having to suffer any hardship

Surgeons in Bulgaria are unwilling to perform a minimally invasive partial procedure and insist on the radical removal of both breasts.

Cryoablation is a proven, minimally invasive procedure that destroys tumour cells, allowing me to keep my breasts and recover more quickly. The operation is urgent because with every passing day the risk of further metastases increases.

As of today, I have 50 euros left in my account. What we need most right now is the chance to make a full recovery and find the peace of mind to fight for my life, without the constant fear of how we’ll cover the next bill or medical expense.

Any amount, even 10 or 20 euros, is a step closer to my recovery.

If you are able to support the campaign with a small monthly donation, this will provide us with stability during the coming months of hormone therapy and recovery.

Please forward this campaign to your loved ones and friends, or share it on social media.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story, for opening your hearts to my family, and for giving me the chance to be with Yoyo and Bezoia! ♡
