Update from Deb (via Petra)
24 April 2024
I just wanted to give you a quick update. First thanks so very much for your generosity and love - words aren't enough!
By way of update, Mum has now completed 3 rounds of Chemotherapy. She is as positive as ever and finds happiness in everything she does. She loves spending her down time with friends and family who pop around. She says the people and company help her so much.
Her second round of chemotherapy wasn’t the smoothest of sailing, but we take each day as it comes.
When mum is feeling up to it, we spend a lot of family time together doing bucket list things. We recently had an awesome Helicopter trip to Waiheke, and set off to Fiji for a family holiday reminiscing our family holidays as young kids. Sitting around talking each others ears off, lots and lots of cuddles and snuggles. Mum is now having a week break between her treatment as she is half way through. Dad and her are going to send some well deserved time together in beautiful Queenstown.
Mum and Dad made their first trip back home to Whangamatā last week and hope to make it a more regular thing. So fingers crossed this can happen.
Grateful for all of the love and support we have all been shown. Although times are testing, and each day brings a new challenge your messages, notes, food deliveries and everything in between mean the absolute world to us and helps brighten our days.
Thank you all so very very much we appreciate everything you have done for us!
