Lyndys tough journey

Our mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer in March 2023, ordinarily "normal" people get through it, our mum on the other hand, she couldn't receive chemo or radiation as it would of killed her after the first dose due to her leg that is blocked with several blood clots due to another huge surgery she had 5 years ago when a leg bypass Stent went wrong and the surgeon severed her nerves and therefore walking is rather difficult.

So we waited months for a surgery date (28th July) which involved full bladder removal, lymph nodes removed, full hestorictomy, bowel reconstruction to create a stoma for an external pouch to be attached for the collection of urine, the death rate of the surgery is 1 in 20.

The recovery so far isn't going well. New obstacles appear each day, making the battle even more draining & difficult emotionally and physically, but hopefully, she will pull through after weeks of extreme pain and suffering.

Mum lives alone with her doggo an hour away from us at the back of Huntly, she is very independent & loves her piece of paradise on the hill surrounded by her friends of the village, so therefore we need to keep her in her home for aslong as possible, but to do so we need to raise money for some repairs around her property to make it safe for her to get around as she is unstable on her feet aswell as to keep her independence aswell as to get the right care in her home and transport to future appointments
