First of all, thank you God for continuing to walk by my side and blessing me and my family.
Thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and donations however I have decided to shut down this page as the money raised has gone towards the goals I had set.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Had my living wake on Friday 24th July and it was amazing! So many people came, it was packed.
Stories shared, some entertainment added thanks to my cousin Bella Kalolo. The event was a hit and connections made all around.
Thank you so much for helping me create this epic memory.
I’m now looking forward to a family trip to look forward to in August to Kaikoura to eat all that amazing seafood.
We decided to drive up to Hanmer for the night.
Was a nice getaway with my husband and son and very much needed after a month of being unwell and trying to recover and right now I’m doing really well. We don’t know what lies ahead but making the most of the time I have left is important.
Thank you again for the support.
We are just over a week out before my living wake (24th) and I’m looking forward to that.
Chemotherapy started last Friday.
Pretty much ate the entire time lol.
Having a PICC is fantastic, no more jabs.
Home life is good but still dealing with admin to get my affairs in order.
Changes to the bathroom will commence soon and now looking at hand rail installation for future proofing.
My living wake plans underway.
Trip to Kaikoura booked and tonight had dinner with family #winning
After 17 days in the hospital I am now recovering at home.
Each day comes with small wins which I will take.
My living wake is now booked for July because we don’t know what I’ll look like in October but right now and by July it’s looking good for me.
Thank you again for the donations. Helping me to live while I’m living and spending time with my loved ones which is a priority for me.
While we have adults kids, it’s our youngest that we want to wrap the support around along with our 4 grandchildren so again, thank you all x
Still in hospital and feeling some improvements with each day however some news received yesterday has put a wee spanner in the works.
The cancer has now appeared in my lungs.
I’m taking a couple of days to put my feelings where they need to be and assess my capabilities.
I have booked the venue for my livingvwake as that will still go ahead in October and gives me something to look forward to. Some home improvements and some time away with my family.
I thank you all and appreciate everything cent donated to my page.
Thanks for joining me on this journey.
Oh hun, so sorry to hear this, sending big hugs 🤗
I have been admitted into hospital. Ben here for a week, was in ICU unconscious for 3bdays fighting 3 different infections and now in Oncology fighting every other thing.
Sisters are here from Sydney and have been taking me out in the wheelchair which has been great.
Was at Pegasus Arms yesterday as it was close and no, I haven’t been drinking but everyone has been at islets been nice feeling normal listening to the stories and laughter.
Hi team,
Ended up back in hospital on Saturday thanks to some fast acting from hubby.
Almost died but I’m back.
Thank you to the ICU team and Oncology Ward.
I’m still in the hospital recuperating until everything rebalances.
Today I was up early, feeding my body to prepare for what chemo is going to take from me. Our son Lincoln and fiancé Samantha joined me.
It went well, snacked right through and had lunch so I can nap before my family come over tonight to watch Crusaders take on the Chiefs.
Got to catch up with a ‘small’ amount of cousins lol 26 of us I think which was so good for the soul. Good food and conversation is so uplifting.
I am so blessed for the support and have been actually out of the bed and house with my son and daughter in law. I forgot for a second that I’m dying and it felt so good!
My head has been all over the place but my heart is so full.
