Mum's Terminal Cancer Battle: Race Against Time
23 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Angel Madu, 39, faces terminal cancer after a symptom initially mistaken for breastfeeding.
- The cancer has spread aggressively to her liver, lungs, bones, and lymph nodes.
- She is seeking life-saving treatment in Mexico, costing £75,000, with urgent fundraising underway.
Angel Madu, a 39-year-old A&E nurse, faces a devastating terminal cancer diagnosis with a prognosis of mere weeks. Her journey began in December 2022 with chest discomfort, initially attributed to breastfeeding or stress.
Despite being "healthy as a horse," the cancer rapidly progressed from stage two to stage four, spreading to her liver, lungs, bones, and lymph nodes by 2024. After exhausting NHS treatment options, Angel is pursuing a £75,000 specialist therapy in Mexico, departing on December 23, 2025.
A fundraising campaign by her church has raised over £30,000, but the urgency to pay for the treatment before it begins creates significant pressure as she travels with her husband, Henry Okoye, leaving their two young children behind.
