The wife of a man suffering from stage 4 brain cancer has thanked the hundreds of people who have pledged money to try and fund treatment for her husband.

Scott Burgess, 41, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiforme two years ago after his concerned wife brought him to hospital.

After two surgeries, and nine months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, things were starting to look up until his son’s sixth birthday on May 23.

That was the day he was told the tumour was growing again and was moving into a ventricle, making another surgery not an option.

"That was a big shock," Scott’s wife Chloe, 36, told News Shopper. "It was so unfortunate it was on our son’s birthday and we didn’t want to bring the mood down.

"We then had half-term and it’s only now the reality of it is hitting us."

Scott and Chloe have been together for 20 years and have three kids, aged six, eight and 11.

News Shopper:

The pair have lived in West Wickham for four years and own a building and electrical business.

Chloe has started a fundraiser to help give Scott further treatment by hopefully raising £50,000 for immunotherapy, which is currently unavailable on the NHS.

Immunotherapy, which is offered in Germany, aims to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells.

More than £13,500 has already been donated for Scott, who Chloe described as a "wonderful person".

"He is still a lot of the person he was before diagnosis, but the treatment is just gruelling. He is still the enthusiastic person and he is just a great guy."

Chloe said she was "completely overwhelmed" by the response of well-wishers.

"I expected a few shares, but I was blown away," she said. "The majority of the money firstly came from friends and school mums who he has helped.

"They are absolutely amazing."

She added: "Someone is always having their own battles and we are so thankful and full of gratitude to everyone who has shared or donated.

"I don’t expect any money and I don’t want to put people out. I just want to thank anyone who reads or shares this."

On her fundraiser Chloe said she wants to give Scott the best possible chance to keep creating memories for their children.

She initially brought him to hospital after concerns about his headaches and him not quite being himself.

"It’s been very up and down," Chloe said about the past two years. "Scott is a driven and ambitious person and has taken a huge blow.

"I have my days of looking into the future and I have to stop myself. Scott has only recently been able to open up about his diagnoses.

"Time is potentially of the essence and I don’t know how long he has."

Chloe said the support from people in West Wickham meant the world and she is grateful to everyone who has reached out.
