Cora lost her Mum to cancer this year, a short 5 month battle. Cora needs to get to Germany as a last hope to now save herself.

Marlborough

What have you accomplished in your last 8yrs on this earth? Cora has spent her last 8 years researching ovarian cancer stage 3c low grade, as she was diagnosed with this in 2014. The cancer known to many as "The silent killer".

For Cora, she has been researching to stay above ground every single day for 8 years, she has had numerous blood tests, surgeries, IV chemo, vitamin C infusions, MRI's, CT scans, taken medical retirement from work, nursed her Mum through fighting lung cancer, supporting her own husband who had a benign nerve tumour, radiation. Cora wants a break, wouldn’t you?

The cost now is not only monetary, but leaving her nearest and dearest for 2months+ to fight her biggest fight in Cologne, Germany. The cancer research in Germany is phenomenal https://www.iozk.de/en/ The IOZK-Immunotherapy mobilizes the body’s own immune response, thus enabling it to take up the fight against the tumour growth itself. The treatment is activating the patients immune system, it is a tailored treatment plan around bloods taken when arriving in Germany...when is she going, hopefully September 26th 2022, 2 weeks time. She needs to go now and she needs to be back for Christmas with her family, their first Christmas without their Mum and Nana.

One of my last messages to Cora's late Mum weeks before she passed was, “I’ll help from here (Chch) supporting Cora, which I’ll never stop doing by the way, Mx "

So, please help me, help Cora!

My final update  19 April 2023

It is with a heavy and broken heart that I let you know Cora has passed away. Cora showed her courageous strength, bravery and determination right to the end.

On behalf of Cora and her family thank you to each and every one of you for supporting her no matter how big or small.

Cora wanted me to leave this page open for her husband and daughter while they navigate life over the coming months without their Wife and Mum.

Heaven has gained an angel, an angel flying high back into her Mum’s loving arms.

“Goodbye is not forever

Goodbyes are not the end

They simply mean I’ll miss you

Until we meet again”

Take care and look after yourselves, your family and friends.

Megan x
