Hey all, thanks for checking out my give a little page!

My names Ana!

Little bit about me, I'm a mum of two awesome little boy's almost 7 and 2.5 & wife to a really cool hubby 😄

I've recently been diagnosed with Moderate to sever Endometriosis after waiting years for a diagnosis.

First it was gluten intolerance, then gluten intolerance + IBS and the list goes on as to what they thought was wrong with me but still wouldn't allow me to have any proper test or scans done.

The Endometriosis was only discovered as I decided to go to a private gynecologist after an abnormal smear (swollen cervix with something coming out of it) and was told its very urgent by the nurse and doctor, we need to go private or suffer on the waiting for months to have that devastating news confirmed, but thankfully the gynecologist was 100% certain it wasn't cancer as suspected but sever endometriosis.

Unfortunately due to lack of doctors knowledge its got to the point where my bowel, ovary & uterus are now fused together, its attached to my sciatic nerve, with many more possibilities as to where its spread to, will find out when i go in for the operation.

I really wanted to go on the public waiting list but when I was told upwards of 18 months at the least, my heart sunk.

If I could wait that long I definitely would as its a huge financial strane on our 1 income family, but due to a decline in health, 12kg weight-loss in 2 months due to nausea and pain, walking becoming unbearable and pain killers not working we need to get this sorted sooner rather then later.

I'm actively fundraising, selling plants and canvases to help cover cost.

We're currently sitting at $9000 out of the $17,000 needed but I can't work out how to change cost needed on here which is now sitting at $7,500.

So thank you to those who have donated, it honestly means a lot!

Thank you all once again!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Years to you all!

Surgery Success  27 January 2021

Thank you all so much for your donations, we really appreciate your help 😊

Surgery went great! Endometriosis was removed, he also had to remove a portion of my bowel as the Endometriosis has caused it to kink into a V shape, so if that wasn't discovered in years to come that could have caused a world of problems! (Scary!)

I'm on the mend now at home, only lasted 24 hours in hospital then requested them to chop chop let's get me discharged which they were happy to do as I ticked all the boxs needed to leave 😉

Total bill ended up being just shy of $19,000 but we received a sum of money from grandparents which covered what was needed to help us get this surgery done ❤
