34yr old mum diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer
Donation protected
Please help us raise funds for my sister Monique, her husband Josh and their 2 little girls. Monique is 34yrs old and has a 4 yr old and a 4 month daughter. They have both grown up on the Sunshine Coast. What started out as shoulder pain that had been incorrectly diagnosed as bursitis, has now correctly been diagnosed as the unimaginable. Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. It has spread from her breast and into her bone. Monique has lesions on her clavicle, pelvis, spine and sternum along with multiple lymph nodes. Radiation will aim to assist with shrinking and pain management, however due to ongoing appointments and 2 young children, neither Monique or Josh are able to work at this point in time and have had to resign from their long term employment to focus on their family. It will be a long road with lots of medications and treatments. This horrible disease is not curable. We can hope to extend and provide quality of life as much as possible so Monique can watch her little girls grow up. Every little girl needs their mother and her husband needs the love of his life. Our parents need their daughter, and I need my best friend. Words cannot express how utterly heartbroken we all are. Monique and Josh are very proud and independent people and have worked their whole lives and are not ones to ask for help. We are asking for them, please for any sort of assistance you may be able to offer to help with ongoing bills, medication costs, treatments costs and cost of living, along with Monique and Josh to be able to create beautiful memories with their children. Every little bit helps. Please if you can, donate to help this beautiful young family. We will all be eternally grateful.
