Canterbury
A young mum aged 32, is now facing the hardest journey of her life, and has been diagnosed with Bowell cancer. Amanda has had surgery to remove the tumor and lost 50% of her bowel, she is now awaiting her results to see what the future journey ahead looks like, what stage the cancer is and if it has spread. Amanda will be starting the process of long rounds of Chemotherapy and other treatments that will be needed . The type of Cancer Amanda has been diagnosed with is genetic Adenocarcinoma Transverse colon, and very rare for her young age. The chances are very high the cancer will return. Amanda is supported by her loving Husband and soul mate, and her two beautiful children aged 5 & 10.
We are raising funds for this wonderful family and the fight they are battling to win against. They have dropped down to one wage now as Amanda begins this tough journey, and have recently brought their family home. we would like to help towards the cost of, treatment that may not be fully funded, helping towards the costs of petrol, food, and things they kids will need during this time, to take some of the financial pressure of them, so they can solely focus on getting Amanda back on the road to recovery.
Your generosity is very appreciated and will be very grateful.

Update on Mandy B 6 January 2017
Hello again all fellow supporters.
We thought we would give you another update on Mandy B's journey.
On the 13th of December Mandy went to her doctor with lower abdominal pain, this resulted in Mandy being referred to the hospital.
A CT scan showed that a 10cm tumor had grown on her left ovary whilst on chemo.
Mandy case went to the board and it was decided that Mandy will need surgery to remove the mass, as this was causing her pain. The doctors are shocked how fast and aggressive her cancer is.
While Mandy was in surgery they successfully removed the tumor which had grown to 15cm and also removed her right ovary due to it producing to another tumor.
The recent CT scan also showed the cancer has spread to her spleen and more cancer is showing in her stomach.
With the recent news of the ovarian cancer, Mandy stopped the chemo treatment she was on, now Mandy is at home recovering from her recent surgery untill she has healed.
The next chapter in Mandy's journey is to have both chemo pills and infusion at the same time, she is due to start this in February.
although with the recent step back, Mandy is still positive and is very courageous.
She is fighting this head on and will continue to.
we will all walk right next to her in the next chapter of her journey
Please send your prayers to Mandy, Jon and their beautiful girls.
Thanks guys
