Please help our mum, she has terminal lung cancer.

Oamaru North, Oamaru

Just found out our mum has terminal lung cancer and was told she has 12 to 18 months to live. Her first cancer diagnosis was five years ago, but chemo and radiotherapy got her through. Now it's come back.

No Longer Able To Bring Mum and Her Partner Home ;-(  1 September 2023

Hi Want to thank each and every one of you very much for all your kind words, love and support.

It means alot to us all.

Things sadly have changed for the worst for now, Mums cancer has now spread from her Lungs, to her, Liver and now her spine and now its become clear that she/they are better off staying in Brisbane Australia as there Healthcare is far superior and Mum is getting quite frail now and Dad struggling to keep up with his work to support them both (so am unsure what and how they will be able to survive but with family we will try and do everything we can to make Mum and Dad comfortable etc...).

We had hoped that we would have been able to make Mums dreams of getting to New Zealand one last time come true with the help of this page, but sadly wasn't meant to be.

So now it looks to be a better idea that I go over to help care and support my Mum and Dad and spen what little quality time we have together.

Love n God Bless All xx

Again we all thankyou all soo very much!
