Life giving cancer treatment for Tere Bissell

  • Important Update

      19 January 2024

    Hi Everyone

    Firstly we would like to thank you all for your generosity and financial support in the hope of seeing Mum recover.

    As most are aware, Mum passed away suddenly yet peacefully on the 8th of January with Dad by her side. Mum had completed three full rounds of treatment and was meant to begin round four on the day she passed. The day before Mum passed, we learned as a family treatment was not working as shown in a recent CT scan taken only a few days prior. We were then meant to have a meeting with Mums doctor on Monday to discuss further options.

    As a family, it is important for us to be completely transparent with the hundreds of people who have supported Mum and donated financially. Three rounds of treatment have been paid for in full, however the give a little money is no longer required to cover treatment costs.

    Currently, the remaining funds have only been used to cover funeral costs and will be further used for family expenses. Furthermore, we have had discussions internally around creating a foundation or trust in Mums name, to help others who may find themselves in a similar situation.

    To this end, it is our intention to use some of the remaining funds as seed money which will go towards getting a foundation or trust established. By doing this, we hope to honour Mums legacy and do you all proud.

    Thank you again,

    The Bissell's

  • Update on mum!

      19 December 2023

    Mum has just started round three of treatment and seems to be responding well. There have been a few challenges but she is continuing to soldier on. If you could please continue to pray for her new right lung that would be great. It is still currently partially collapsed and mum has a scan coming up to see how things are looking.

    We have well and truly raised all the funds for mums treatment plus more, so thank you so much!

    We really appreciate the continued love and support!
