A Sisters Cancer Journey

SISTER LOVE

4 words I hope you never hear from a sister... I have Breast Cancer.

My truly amazing, talented, authentic sister Rachael, Phoned me a month ago to relay the test results of a biopsy. Aggressive HERZ3 Breast cancer. The feelings that follow are:

Fear

Shock

Disbelief (why her not me)

HELPLESSNESS.

Then resourcefulness kicks in.

We are so fortunate to live in a Country with the medical resources, freedom and support that are crucial to surviving the hard stuff, However other supports have been proven to stack the odds of survival.

What Rachael needs:

Time to process

Clear boundaries from well wishes

Practical care for her two Boys age 1 and 5

Quality time with her husband

Support for her husband

Prioritising her health physically, emotionally and spiritually

Financial support from loss of income (mortgage!!!!)

A practical and immediate solution to all the above is MONEY.

The reason I have put this page up is to gain support for my sister at this difficult time in her life. I can only do so much to help with Rachael's needs at this time. One thing I am doing is putting together a Go Fund Me page. The lovely women at The Womb Collective are helping to raise money with an event on the 3rd November. I will be shaving my head to not only raise money for Rachael, but to donate my hair as well as put an action forward to demonstrate my love, connection and support for the challenge ahead.

I am reaching out to you for your support, and invite you on a journey of survival that is unfortunately too close to home for many of us.

Thank you for joining me.

With Love,

Chelsea.
