Radiation Therapy Support for Teresita Simbulan

A help to support Teresita Simbulan for her radiation therapy.

Auckland

I am the youngest sibling of Teresita Simbulan who is currently living in the Philippines. My eldest sister who is now 70 year old was diagnosed with stage 4a cervical cancer just three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, my sister had a nephrotomy - a procedure in which two tiny hoses were inserted and connected directly to both of her kidneys. Due to the severity of tumor around her cervix, urine can't pass through her urethra and thus nephrotomy supports her to pass the urine directly to the bags from her kidneys. She was hospitalised for almost a week and the doctors decided to put her on dialysis, her creatinine is high. In a span of a week, she has had 4 sessions of dialysis and the results were good. Now, they are preparing her for sessions of radiation therapy to shrink her tumors so she can pass urine normally again.

Due to the severity of her condition and the high cost of hospitalization, myself can't afford to support her financially for the radiation therapy sessions and regular dialysis. I supported her with her hospital bills in the last three weeks and bought her the things she would be needing while recovering at home.

I want my sister to live longer, I know she is a fighter and I believe that she can survive her stage 4a cervical cancer.

Any amount you could donate will help my sister prolong her life.
