Help support Lilys fight against cancer
Donation protected
Hello beautiful people, After some thought and a lot of encouragement from friends I've decided to start a go fund me page to help offset medical bills and any other unforeseen costs associated with my treatment. At 24 years old on the 19th of December 2018 after being sick for months mine, my fiance and our families lives were changed forever when I was diagnosed me with cancer. We were due to go on holidays over Christmas and new year, we were planning our wedding for October 2019 and attempting to start a family of our own, I'd found a career path I was excited for and had enrolled to start study, 2019 was supposed to be our year and in an instant it all changed. A neuro endocrine tumour that showed up in my neck and throat area, wrapping around my vocal cord, and pushing against my wind pipe, it is non operable and I started chemo and radiation. I had to start treatment immediately because my airways were so compromised, we started chemotherapy so quickly that there was no time to harvest eggs which was heartbreaking for us as a couple. These tumours are so rare they're referred to as unicorn tumours, there is so little recorded cases and my age bracket and the area it's shown up in make it even odder, there's very little information they can give us but we are staying positive. Visit https://www.unicornfoundation.org.au for information or to research.
Any funds raised will be used for things like medical expenses, hospital parking, medications, unforeseen costs associated with my treatment and IVF if I go into remission. It would be an amazing feeling to be able to focus on getting better and spending time with my family rather than stressing about financial matters. If you feel you are able to donate I will be truly grateful. Any amount will be appreciated more than you will ever know, no matter how small. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Love and positivity, lily x
