Fighting possible breast cancer.

Mount Maunganui, Tauranga

Hi friends and whanau,

Sadly today I have had my contract terminated and I am about to get every blood test possible done ahead of urgent xrays and scans.

I am a little worried how I am going to support myself given my single dog mum status.

Im ok, I am staying positive but I simply dont know what I am facing. I am seriously unwell though, so It has been a bit rough of late.

If you have any spare coins, please chuck them my way. Appreciate even a message as I know times are tough for all.

Preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.

Lots of love

Kirst

Use of funds

Treatments (including massage for stiffness, Sauna, yin yoga), food, rent.

Still waiting on urgent scans and xrays  17 January 2025

I rushed myself to hospital because ive been experiencing a lot of faintness.

To clarify:

Liver, kidneys, heart, thyroid all look ok in blood tests and an ecg.

Not a UTI. Not diabetes.

The tests continue.
