Help Diane's Quality of Life

Several weeks ago, my wife Diane was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer. She previously underwent treatment for breast cancer, but now it has spread. She has many tumours: two in her skull, several in her spine, and even more in her hips, ribs, and pelvis. As a result, she is in unbearable pain, and her quality of life has been dramatically diminished. She can no longer walk without assistance and requires a wheelchair to get to and from her appointments. She is unable to stand to shower or step into a standard bathtub. She has also gone completely deaf in one ear due to the tumours in her skull.

We need to install a walk-in bathtub and make several accessibility changes to our house. We also have to purchase a wheelchair and a hearing aid, but we can't afford these things on our own. If you have anything to give, please help me and my family improve Diane's quality of life during whatever time she has left with us. Her doctors have told us she may live another 3-5 years and we would like to make those as comfortable as possible. If you cannot donate, please share this around to your own family and friends. We urgently need your help.

 

Thank you all,

Frank (and Tate) Norman
