Help a nana say goodbye and enjoy the last few months of life.

Whangarei, Northland

Hi my mum (Wendy) was just diagnosed with lung cancer 4 day's before her 65th birthday and has been given only 3 to 6 months to live, there is nothing they can do but help her be comfortable for the last few months.

She had her kidney removed in March because they found a lesion from a ct scan, we believed they had removed it all when they took her kidney out as they said it was bainian (non cancerous) so all we were worried about was her only having one kidney an all the things that come with that. Next scan wasn't due till January but her renal doctor asked for a urgent scan as she was having back an hip pain so wanted a scan to see what was causing that only to be called by the oncologist asking for a urgent appointment to see her a week after the scan. She cannot do chemo because of her kidney disease and if they did it would kill the only kidney she has so would end up on dialysis for the rest of her life, and the type of cancer she has chemo has a 50% success rate in healthy people.

Hi my name is Jessica i am her only child and only have 1 child who is only 3 and absolutely loves her nana, wanting to raise some money to help with her last few months and funeral cost.
