Help Pavla fight cancer for a second time

Donation protected

Hello, I have made this page to see if our community would help our family in this difficult time. First, I will start with a bit of our story.

My mum Pavla, and her husband David have been battling cancer for many years. It started with David being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016. After surgery and going through the recovery process David was given the all clear that they had successfully removed the tumour and he was cancer free. Then in 2017 my Mum was diagnosed with colon cancer as well, but unfortunately Mum's cancer was much further progressed than Davids and the doctors were unsure of whether they would be able to help Mum. After many years of fighting for her life, getting chemotherapy, radiation and numerous surgeries coupled with trying every alternative therapy, cancer diet etc. that was out there we received the news that Mum was cancer free. This news came as a surprise to even the doctors, but my Mum was a fighter and defied all odds. After such a long, hard few years our family felt like it could breathe again. For the last few years Mum has been slowly recovering and has only just started feeling like herself again. Although she suffers day to day issues as an aftermath of her illness, she was finally able to start enjoying life again.

Yesterday, we received the most shocking and unexpected news. My Mum has got cancer again and this time in her liver. Yesterday, she was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer with a 3 and a half centimetre tumour. Thankfully, the doctors have said that it is operable so my Mum now has to go through the whole process again and have part of her liver removed.

Last time there was so many stressing factors like affording treatment, paying bills etc. while Mum was fighting for her life. We managed and got through it but this time I am asking for financial help for Mum and David so they can focus on the important task of surviving this ordeal. I wish for them to not have to worry about money during this time, and that they can afford whatever treatment Mum may need. So I am reaching out to my community, friends and family to make this journey a bit less stressful for them.

Thank you for listening, much love x
