Help Susie with medical costs
Donation protected
So, this little ray of beautifulness is my favourite cousin Susie. She's worked her whole life as a nurse and had to take early retirement due to having rheumatoid arthritis.
At the beginning of lockdown, she returned to nursing to assist with covid testing and the covid jabs, working long days which played havoc with her arthritis.
She's recently agreed to marry her long term partner John and they've set a date for next year.
Fast forward to this summer and Susie found a lump in her breast. She went for tests and they found 3 lumps which resulted in her having her breast removed. She was then given the devastating news that the cancer is in her lymph nodes. Now there is treatment and it doesn't have to include chemotherapy cos in certain situations, it's doesn't actually help and with Susie's arthritis, it would massively exasperate her condition, but the good news is that there is a test which would definitively tell us if she needs the chemotherapy or not. It would be pointless doing it if she didn't definitely need it.
Now here's the right shitty news..... the test costs £3,000. That's right. She has got to pay for this test herself. It isn't available on the NHS.
I'm just putting this out there, that if anyone can donate anything, no matter how small, it would really help as obviously Susie isn't able to work and at a time that's already horrifically stressful,I just want to help her out as much as possible.
Thank you for reading.
