Please help buy a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Capsule for Fiona. Conventional medicine has no more to offer.

This page is for family, friends and people in the our community to pass on their support and love to Fiona in a practical way.

Fi has been let loose on a roller-coaster adventure of discovery over the past 12 years, and it is one that she has never been afraid of.

Twelve years ago at the age of 38 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her children, Skye, Jossh and Beau were 6, 9 and 10.

Some short spells of good news came along, mixed with many more of turmoil, disappointment and doubt, as the cancer came and went and shifted around her body as secondary cancer.

In all that time she has done more to help other people than herself. She has been the best mother to her children and the best wife to Dave that she could possibly be.

She has also helped her local community by:

• Re-juvenating the Eketahuna Amateur Swimming Club which is still going strong, now ten years later.

• Starting the Community Garden through her position on the Eketahuna Health Centre Board. Hugely successful, now four years later.

• Starting up the Eketahuna youth group, still going strong with up to 25 young people almost three years later.

• Organising two large Markets per year as fundraising for our young people.

• Training in Reiki, and has been treating the folks at Waireka retirement home for a gold coin, along with others in her community.

In that time she has also raised her three wonderful children to adulthood. Now 18, 20 and 21. She knows that if the next step is to leave them soon; they will be OK. There is no fear.

She recently had a ten day course of full brain radiation for her latest tumours; a small secondary breast cancer tumour and spots all over her eyes.

Now after twelve years of conventional medicine, she has been told it’s over. Nothing more they can do. No more cut and paste; No more poison and fry.

Now she is on her own. They expect her to live a short 4-6 months, from June 2017.

We expect her body to heal and to do what it knows best how to do.

Alternative Therapy: Recently, over a ten day intensive treatment, Fiona has had 13 sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and when she went back to the oncologist in early June, the Optometry specialist had a hard time believing what she was seeing; a possible small shrinkage on the one spot she is most concerned about, which is on Fiona's right eye lens.

Fiona needs the chamber's whole body treatment for the multiple lesions she has and to alleviate the swelling in her brain.

Fiona has given so much of herself to others over the last decade. Now we want to help her to a new start at life by buying her own Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber for her. She wants to use it to help others to heal too, and will be making it available to her community to use.

The units usually cost $25,000, but we have the opportunity to buy a cheaper version with all the same features for $14,000. We’d love it if you could help a very special person by “Giving a Little”.

In Fiona’s words: Love, lite and rainbows and lots of smiles … xoxox
