Last year our beautiful sister Sarah was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. As you can imagine the past year has been tumultuous as she has had a number of surgeries, chemotherapy and dealt with an infection. She has also been doing a number of other alternative therapies to help get her body in the best possible state to fight the cancer. Things had been going well and she was due to start a new job in Tauranga this week. They were all set to move from Auckland to the Bay.
However last week Sezzy received the discouraging news that multiple small lesions have appeared on her lung, one on her liver and question marks over some lymph nodes and an ovary. This has been a huge blow as Sezzy had been feeling physically really well. This has thrown their year and their lives up-in-the-air as they consider what they do next with Sezzy’s treatment. She has had to give up the job that she was due to take up and they are unsure about when or if they will move. They are currently living with Sezzy’s parents.
Jem and Sezzy have so much to think about, process and decide on and we would love to ease the added burden of the financial pressure. Any contributions to this end would be so gratefully received.
