Nandi's Conquering Cancer Fund
Donation protected
Until recently, Nandi, a single mom of two children was working at completing her studies in Education.
On April 3, 2018, she noticed a lump in her breast. Upon seeing her doctor, she was referred for a mammogram, PET scan and biopsy. Sent to her oncologist at Cancercare Manitoba, she was ready to do whatever treatment was needed to stay alive. Unfortunately, the oncologist had nothing to offer, saying that she already had stage IV breast cancer and that it had spread to her lungs and bones. Radiation, surgery and chemotheraphy were no longer viable options. Other than being offered pain treatment, she was told that in all likelihood, her condtion was fatal and that she should put her affairs in order. As a mom of two young children, Nandi was in absolute shock, but determined to find other answers.
Thankfully, her church community was able to lend immediate support in getting her in touch with a Naturopath down in the States, who gave her some hope as she began a process of strengthening her immune system through a specialized diet and supplements. After further research, she has now discovered some additional complimentary treatments available in Manitoba that can further support her quest to combat this cancer. As of yet, these treatments are not covered through Manitoba Medical, though some are quite common in Germany and other places in Europe.
As a friend of Nandi and her mother Lindy Guma, I am setting up a Gofund in her name, so that she can have the financial support needed to begin paying for these treatments immediately. Lindy, her mother, is setting up the account from which all treatments will be paid. We do not want Nandi to worry about the finances, but to focus on her journey to health, and spending quality time with her children.
We are fortunate to be in Canada, where we can receive great care, but unfortunately for Nandi, conventional medicine is no longer an option. We are depending on the love and sacrifices of our communities to ensure that she can get the best alternative care we can find. We will keep you informed as she continues her journey.
Lindy and I would like to give you thanks from the bottom of our hearts for your contributions and prayers, as well as for sharing this story with others!
