Fundraiser for aggressive Breast Cancer
Auckland
This for our work colleague and friend Donna
Who is a single mother of 3
Has the most beautiful nature and outgoing personality
We are raising money for Donna during this most stressful time in her life.
With no insurance, unable to work , earn income coming in for over 8 MThs while she is hospitalised, having surgery, tests and recovery and physio chemo and radiation. Donna has had surgery; a double mastectomy, and then trying to overcome the devastating news of the cancer coming back and has spread to the lymph nodes.
Funding will pay for a Gene expression profiling test (https://www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz/breast-cancer/tests-and-diagnosis/gene-expression-profiling) which is unfunded in New Zealand.
Also, high dose Vitamin C infusions with immune-boosting properties to help heal. Vitamin C also protects the DNA of the cells inside your body from damage.
Thank you making time to look at our fundraiser and anything will help Donna get through this process.
We understand that times are tough for everyone, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide no matter the amount. If you're unable to donate, your thoughts, prayers, good vibes and well wishes will be very much appreciated! Sharing this campaign within your social network can and will also make a significant difference helping Donna and her family. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Let’s make things smooth for Donna to go through this huge change in her life 💜

Done with chemo. Radiation to go. 10 September 2024
Had last chemo. Number 6. Side effects have been tough. Booked for gastrointestinal camera investigation later as gut pain been so bad. So tired and weak - been trying short walks to get chemo to move through quicker and then I’m done for day. Weak and shaky. Nausea is constant. Fingers numb. But I’m bloody done with chemo. May it never cross my path again. I’m trying to focus on the important things in life. Pets, friends and family. A new grandson on the way. The sun. Spring flowers. Fresh air. Kindness. Smiles. Love. Once I’m strong enough Ive radiation. I was hoping to go stay at the lodge in Hamilton and do down there. It’s every day for three weeks. It would mean meals taken care of and no driving or getting lifts. But they can’t have me as I’m too complicated and needs to be at Auckland hospital. The radiation beam with either miss an area that may have cancer or it will hit my lung. This would mean damage to lung and possibly pulmonary fibrosis or later lung cancer. Kind of lose lose situation so I’m nervous. Hopefully they can minimalise the danger. Seems everything is a pay off. Just need to keep positive. Please pray for me, and I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. It means so much.
