'I'm 38 and not ready to die' says Newcastle teacher diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer | Chronicle Live Skip to main content Carly Scott is now fighting to secure alternative medical treatments and specialist consultations following the shock diagnosis (Image: Carly Scott) A Kenton teacher says she is "not ready to die" after receiving the devastating news that her cervical cancer is terminal. Carly Scott is urging others to attend vital cervical screening appointments after doctors realised she'd had cancer for around eight years. Carly was diagnosed with stage three cervical cancer in early 2025 and just days ago was told the devastating news it has now progressed to stage four. Despite this, the 38 year-old is not giving up hope, and is now seeking alternative methods in a bid to prolong her life. Carly hopes to travel to a private clinic in Germany specialising in Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) – a minimally invasive treatment – costing around £30,000. She is also researching into proton therapy, an alternative treatment not available on the NHS, but first needs to see a specialist before learning if she is eligible for treatment.
