How do I define Turbo Cancer?
Whilst many medical professionals don't seem to acknowledge the term "turbo cancer", I would define it like this:
A cancer that has established itself so quickly, maybe presents at stage 3 or 4 with the victim seemingly defenceless,
almost like something in the body's natural defences has been switched off so the cancer can spread aggressively
causing the rapid demise of the victim.
Which cancers?
My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 colo-rectal cancer, but I have heard of turbo cancers attacking many different areas,
the link is the seemingly aggressive nature of the cancer.
What does this website hope to achieve?
We need answers. By sharing our stories and experiences with others who have suffered from a similar fate, together,
we might be able to join the dots that the government and some of the medical community seem reluctant to address and find
the answers which might bring about closure or justice for our loved ones, if indeed there is a link.
We need an immediate inquiry into why so many (young) people are suffering and dying from these turbo cancers. We need
medical professionals to be alerted to this growing phenomenon, to understand what to look for so an earlier diagnosis can
be found and treatment begun at a much earlier stage. If the government won't recognise the problem, why should GPs look
for the symptoms?
Loved ones of victims of Turbo Cancer can share their stories and experiences with others who have suffered from a similar
fate. You will be able to share your stories privately or publicly once this website has been updated.
Are there support groups for families of victims of turbo cancer? I have asked several organisations but received a negative
response.
This website is dedicated to the memory of my wife, Sharon Plummer, who passed away on our 5th wedding anniversary,
aged 39, nine months after giving birth to our beautiful daughter, Jemima. Sharon was diagnosed with stage 4 colo-rectal
cancer one month before she passed away.
