Help Tama fight breast cancer
Donation protected
You should never take anything for granted, you can spend your life planning things and in the end we forget to live the moment.
In August 2018 the uncertainty began, in my sister's life, and family.
Alone in an office of the gynecology hospital in Mexico, my sister had gone to see if the fibrosis she supposedly had could have a cure, to her surprise the doctor's words changed everything: "The tumor seems malignant and is very likely to be cancer," for a moment she could not assimilate what the doctor just said, the biggest of her fears had come true.
A sign behind the doctor took her attention. "In this room nobody gives up." And that has been all, a fight against that cancer, at the begining she was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer.
She has been really brave, working all the time in order to pay for her treatment that public hospitals in mexico cannot offer. She went over 6 months of chemotherapy, after that a bilateral mastectomy, 2 months of radiotherapy. Always with a smile and never giving up. And when everybody thought the fight was over and the cancer was beaten, we received another surprise , and the horrible word of metastasis. Her cancer had spread. Doctors have given us the only hope of an overly expensive treatment, which does not exist publicly in hospitals in Mexico. The cost of this treatment is 1.5 million pesos about 60 thousand pounds, or 77,000 dollars.
So me, her sister and my family beg for a help with your donation, it is our last hope. We need at least 10,000 pounds this month just for the first payment.

Nunca debemos de tomar las cosas por sentado, puedes pasar la vida planeando, y al final nos olvidamos de vivir el momento.
En agosto del 2018 la incertidumbre comenzó en la vida de mi hermana, y la de toda la familia.
Sola en un consultorio de un Hospital de Ginecologia en Mexico, mi hermana habia ido para ver si la supuesta fibrosis que tenia podria tener algun remedio, para su sorpresa las palabras de la doctora cambiaron todo: "el tumor luce maligno, y es muy probable que sea cancer", por un momento ni siquiera pudo asimilar lo que el doctor decia, su mayor miedo se estaba convirtiendo en realidad.
Un letrero detras de la doctora llamaba la atencion de mi hermana: "En esta habitacion nadie se rinde". Y asi es como ha sido una batalla contra el cancer, en un principio habia sido diagnosticada con cancer de mama en etapa tres triple negativo.
Ella ha sido muy valiente, siempre trabajando para conseguir el dinero y pagar todos sus tratamientos que los hospitales publicos en mexico no pueden ofrecer. Ha pasado por 6 meses de quimioterapia, despues de eso una mastectomia bilateral, 2 meses de radioterapias. Siempre con una sonrisa y nunca dandose por vencida. Y cuando todos creiamos que la batalla habia terminado y por fin habia vencido al cancer, recibimos una sorpresa con la horrible palabra de metastasis. Su cancer se habia diseminado. Los doctores nos han dado como unica esperanza un tratamiento demasiado costoso, el cual no existe en ningun hospital publico en Mexico. El costo de este tratamiento es de 1.5 millones de pesos, esto es alrededor de 60 000 libras o 77,000 dolares.
Por eso yo, y toda mi familia les rogamos su ayuda con sus donaciones, es nuestra ultima esperanza. Necesitamos al menos 10,000 libras, 250,000 pesos para el primer pago.
