More bone cancer and surgery for Monica
6 August 2025Sadly, after radiation, limb salvage surgery, chemotherapy, and an arm amputation in February 2023, Monica has received devastating news.
She has just been told that bone cancer has been found in her remaining arm. This means limb salvage surgery which is scheduled for September 2025. The surgery involves a total elbow replacement, with muscle and skin grafts from her back and legs - an operation that is likely to severely impact the mobility of her remaining arm.
This surgery and recovery will be horrendous for Monica and her precious little boy Ari, so we have opened a new Givealittle page to support them at this incredibly sad and difficult time. Please donate here if you can:

Contributions will be used towards ongoing costs such as transport to medical appointments. Any contribution helps to ease things a little and will mean the world to them both.
