Mandy B's fight for life

  • 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

  • Update of Mandy B

      28 October 2016

    Hello all supporters of Mandy B’s fight for life.

    After weekly appointments at the hospital, further testing and scans, It has been confirmed Mandy B has stage 4B cancer. The cancer had travelled further than expected and had spread thru her large intestine into her small intestine and into the stomach lining.

    Unfortunately it has also spread to her lymph nodes, in which lymph nodes act as a taxi service to other parts of the body, this has resulted into secondary mastitis cancer of the lung. Mandy B will be starting chemotherapy next week.

    Mandy B will be on chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 months, Mandy is going to tackle this head on, and will be wearing her courageous shoes, and will not give up the fight and will prove the doctors wrong with the time left she has been given.

    we will all walk right next to her in the next chapter of her journey

    Please keep Mandy, Jon and her beautiful kids in your thoughts& prayers during this difficult time.
