    Well Sunday morning was a bad one. Had to call the Ambulance and now we are back in Waikato Hospital suspected fracture to the hip. Doing ct scans on pelvis and mri scan on spine, hopefully the cancer has not spread to more areas. Medications are being changed and a couple stronger doses. Mum has been pretty tired and sore. Starting auctions and raffles on the matamata notice board to help our fundraising. Once home will go see some businesses and see if can get donations to help our fundraising. This is a hard Journey but we will not give up. Getting mum more stable to be able to handle her 5 day stay in here on own in April for radioactive/ Iodine drink. Please feel free to share our page or pass on to anyone you think would like to donate. We have again been turned down by funding for this but that is ok we will get there. Once again from us to you all. Thank u so much for your support.

    Time to get this bathroom project sorted to help Judith out and to stay safe. We now have a walker, going to build a ramp for step and keep smiling. Her pain is hard but she is a fighter.

    Thank u

    Mum is pretty sore in the hips at the moment. We managed to stay out of hospital a few days ago, We did have to go to the medical centre and get some antibiotics as she has a infection and retains fluid but this has started to get better. We are trying every avenue to get funding but seems not avail. We are putting posters up and going around friends, family anf the community to help support us. We are in process of making up raffles, auctions of items as well as looking at setting up a stall at the markets to help raise money. We appreciate everything u have all done and please keep sharing our story. We are taking each day as it comes. Hopefully the radioactive/ Iodine drink will latch onto the cancer cells and kill some of it. If this dont work then radiation will happen in the ribs and they will look at chemo treatment. Its so sad as she is trying to stay positive but with this pain its not easy. We are doing our best to love and care for her as well as dad who is a veteran with ptsd and is struggling seeing his wife in this state. All we can do is keep going and pray for the best. I will update when something new is going on. This bathroom project hopefully can happen sooner then later so she is not so scared of falling or being stuck as her feet sweel alot and isnt easy stepping into shower anymore. Once again Thank u and plz keep sharing round.

    Arohanui, Kia Kaha

  • Thyroid is primary

      8 March 2025

    Had oncology on friday and we have since found out that Thyroid is the primary source that has kicked off this cancer in the bones and ribs. Judith is booked in for radioactive treatment on 16th April. Have been told she will feel pretty yuck for a while after. 5 days in hospital on own is going to be hard for me but it has to be done. We hope the iodine will attach to the cancer cells and kill it. Radiation will come after to the ribs and then will look into chemo therapy if have to. We are fighting all the way even if ends up in wheelchair full time that can be a possibility. This wet floor bathroom is something we really need to get onto now. Will update as we know more. Have alot to do to sort things for this next chapter happening in a few weeks. Please share this to get the word out. Thank u to you all for the support . Will update as we go

  • Judiths new part of Cancer Journey

    Please help us to give Judith a proper bathroom with a wet floor shower and rails to keep her safe. Being able to take in a wheelchair or walker will be a big help to her. This cancer is taking over her exhausted body. This has spread to the ribs and is making it hard to step up in to shower etc.

    Struggles to have help in a tiny bathroom so please help make it bigger and nice for her to be comfortable. Also needing to put in a higher Toilet and rails for her to be able to move a bit more

    freely. Judith isnt one to make a fuss but seeing her struggles are vary real and we are doing all we can to help her in any we need to. Judith struggles to walk and is slower so if we can make the bathroom door wider a shower she can walk into or use wheelchair this would make it easier on her body. Thank u so mich for your kindness. Please share the word as we really need some miracles and help ❤️

  • Judiths future we dont know

      23 February 2025

    Have had some sad news. This beautiful women has just found out the cancer has now travelled into the ribs disk 6 and 9. She just cant catch a break.

    Not what we wanted to hear but i guess with bone cancer we just have to go with it.

    They have been asked not to give us time frames she just wants to live the life she has left and enjoy as much as she can even though in a lot of pain.

    Thank you to you all

    Kia kaha

  • Thyroid is out

      8 February 2025

    Judiths Thyroid is now out, seems like this is not the primary cancer. Alot of stress and hospital appointments to investigate if they can find the primary. Judiths health is not the best some days she just sleeps all day. Will keep fighting till we can hopefully find the primary.
