Help support getting me back to the UK to take care of my Mum who has Cancer in her Lung & Spine.

Otago

I am wanting to raise money so that I can get back to the UK to take care of my Mum while she has treatment for Lung Cancer & surgery on her spine. Also to buy her a little car to get to & from appointments (the hospital is around 45 minute drive away & look at alternative treatments if they cant operate on her spine. In 2016 my Mum was diagnosed with Cancer in her Lung, spine & Lymph nodes. I spent 11 months in the UK taking care of her while she had Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy, we went to Spain to celebrate her getting through the treatments (which was mile stone in itself) She was declared Cancer free in September 2017 & a miracle by her very impressed Oncologist. Unfortunately it has returned to her Lung & Spine :-( She is waiting to have Immunotherapy which hopefully will start in a couple of weeks & they are also looking to do surgery on her spine. She is currently in a terrible amount of pain & bedridden on morphine. So Im hoping to get back over there as soon as I can.

Use of funds

Flights, a car, alternative treatments & medical related costs that work along side Immunotherapy & surgery. I want to help her receive the best care and treatments possible.
