Aww today has been a bit emotional,
I had chemo early this morning so we got pancakes on the way because
a. I slept in and
b. Why the heck not l, they were amazing
Had a beautiful healthy lunch
Had a nap because I was feeling Nauseaous and weird.
Then woke up to the awesome people that have donated both to our Kirsty Joy Photography - Award Winning Fine Art Photographer fundraiser and our givealittle.co.nz page.
Coolest early birthday present I could have and im so thankful for all the donations big or small it all adds up in the end.
I've also been hardout making as many candles as I have energy to make, so I can list a whole bunch all at once, thanks everyone for your consistent orders of them too. It's actually something I started doing in lockdown to keep me occupied while being at home for so long.. and buying them helps to also support my hobby and I think I've almost come up with a name that suits me better than the one I was going to call it too.
I think I've decided to pursue treatment in australia, even though I don't want to leave home and all my support. It would be fun to go somewhere new and warm, that's familiar and has special people I love and miss close by. I still have to figure out if I even qualify for funded treatment but it's looking good so far 👌 my hours of research and asking questions have helped alot. I'm also not sure that we will qualify for any financial help because I feel bad that i already I have to use it as an option. So either way the donation money and candle money will be put to good use.
I may have to start treatment here in nz first to see if it will even work and at about $15,000 per dose that's Still very expensive.
Thank you all again for your support, times are tough at the moment, check in to see if your elderly or sick people are alright, maybe chop them some firewood if you can or make them a hot soup. Covid is impacting a lot of people and alot of the time government payments only cover rent and petrol for the week. That's what I would actually like for my birthday please this year. Do something nice for someone you love show them you care. The memories will be worth the small amount of your time ❤
