Cancer-fighting nurse seeks to capture Taylor Swift’s attention.

A 29-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer is looking for help to try and get Taylor Swift’s ‘22’ hat at her concert next week.

Chloe Stirling, from Eccleston, is a nurse at St Helens Walk in Centre.

She started getting reflux in November, which at the time she thought was down to weight loss medication she was taking.

After the issue didn’t subside though, she went to A&E who found nothing wrong with her, and she instead pushed for her GP to send her for an endoscopy which found an ulcer.

She had treatment for the ulcer and six weeks later a biopsy was taken, the results of which found that she had a rare stomach cancer called – poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells.
She has been sharing her story on TikTok in a bid to raise awareness of stomach cancer and the signs.

Speaking to the Star, Chloe said: “I think in hindsight I’ve probably had cancer a while and not known, but when I got the reflux, and it wasn’t going away I knew from my background that it didn’t sound right.

“I even said to my GP, ‘I feel like I have cancer or something’ and was told categorically that I was too young to have stomach cancer.

“But I’m not. I have been diagnosed with stage two cancer and have to have four rounds of chemotherapy before having my stomach removed before having another four rounds of chemo.
