Polly’s Story

In April 2024, Polly was given the devastating news she had stage four womb cancer. It was suggested for her to begin chemotherapy in hopes that it would shrink the tumour, but after her first session, she was rushed to the hospital where they found her lungs were full of fluid.

Polly's lung began to collapse, and her heart started to fail. The decision was made for her to be transferred to Garden House Hospice Care where she arrived on an end-of-life pathway.

Her family expected the worst, but ten days later, Polly was discharged, no longer relying on oxygen and her heart functioning at a rate that can be managed. With thanks to the support of the Hospice she is living the life she loves with her symptoms under control.

This is Polly's full story.
