Hi, my name is Kelly.
Somebody suggested me doing a fund page, so please don't judge me
I was diagnosed with breast cancer just before the summer holidays and my 9 year old daughter has spent the holidays mainly worrying about me and being bored as I had breast surgery the first week of the holidays.
I'm a single mum, so it makes things harder.
I wish I didn't have the extra stress of money on top of everything else
We were supposed to be going to Cyprus for a week, our first family holiday abroad apart from two days in Venice last year, but have had to cancel that due to having breast surgery just before and spending 3 days in hospital.
I won't receive the money back from the insurance company for a couple of weeks.
I've since been told that the cancer is in my lymph nodes.
I'm needing to have a second surgery the day my daughter is due to go back to school and she is so worried as last time I didn't wake up for 33 hours due to emotional trauma and I was having psuedoseizures. She saw me in the ICU and is worried the same may happen again.
my wages were £400 less than usual and I'm not sure when I will go back to work.
so even though I feel mostly healed, I can't afford to do anything to make the last couple of weeks of the summer holidays fun for my daughter before I have surgery again and start treatment.
I feel so awful for her and it's causing me extra stress.
She keeps saying how we'd normally be doing fun stuff during the holidays and I feel so bad for her.
I just want to create some happy memories for us both before my second surgery and my treatment starts, as I don't know how long it will be before I feel up to doing much with her during that time.
We live in a quiet small town and there isn't much to do here.
Please if anyone can help me make the next few weeks fun for her I would be eternally grateful.
