This is Kayley. She began va**ng at 15 and has been told she has 18 months to live - following a lung cancer diagnosis at 21. 💔
Kayley Boda, 22, was getting through one 600-puff v**e weekly when she started coughing up a brown substance containing "grainy bits" in January 2025.
The retail assistant, from Manchester, said medical professionals dismissed her eight times, telling her she had a chest infection, until she began coughing up blood.
Following seven biopsies, Kayley received a lung cancer diagnosis and has had surgery to remove the lower lobe of her right lung, alongside chemotherapy treatment. 😢
In February 2026, she received the all clear, but two months later, doctors revealed the cancer had returned in the pleural lining, and told her she has just 18 months to live. Kayley is now fundraising to cover a clinical trial in Germany, aimed at extending her life, and has issued a stark warning for others about the risks associated with va**ng.
Kayley said that doctors were unable to give her a definitive answer on the cause of her cancer, but told her that smoking and va**ng definitely didn't help.
During surgery, doctors upgraded Kayley's cancer from stage one to stage three, after finding cancer in six surrounding lymph nodes. Following the surgery, Kayley was unable to breathe properly and had to learn to walk again.
After finishing chemotherapy in February 2026, Kayley was given the all clear, leaving her feeling elated. However, a month later, she began experiencing extreme chest pains and was told by doctors she had a pleural effusion, which is a build-up of fluid on the lungs.
She got the fluid removed, but when doctors tested it, they discovered her cancer had returned to the pleural lining of her lungs, giving her 18 months to live. 😞
Since her diagnosis she has stopped and is urging others to stop too.
Kayley is now hoping to raise £20,000 for treatment in Germany to try and prolong her life.
Just horrific, we hope you can get the treatment you need Kayley! ❤️
