On Sunday morning, Carol spoke with LBC's Matthew Wright about the fundraiser following her ordeal with the disease - which has involved the removal of her right eye due to ocular melanoma.
Carol said she has had to pay out £200,000 to pay for treatment despite having private healthcare, including cancer cover.
She has had to pay £40,000 per treatment - which has saved her life.
However, after four years of being cancer free, the disease sadly returned forcing her to pay £80,000 for more treatment.
"Now Matthew I don't have that kind of money" she said.
