Hey everyone my name is Shauna Walsh I am the very lucky daughter of an amazing lady know as Lorraine Foley. Mammy has put everyone before herself her whole life from being an wonderful mother raisng myself, shane and saoirse , A fantastic nanny to my two crazy boys and an absolute super star with the amazing team of wexford people helping people these people along with mammy are superheros who dedicate, time,love and alot of hard work to people who need any kind of help❤
Mammy has not had the best of luck with her health to say the least....
In 2017 she was diagnosed with Mucinous cystadenama of the retroperitoneum a rare type of cancer which she had chemo treatment for, a hysterectomy, and a appendectomy with many more surgeries to elminate an parts of the lower abdomen that was infected with cancer. This cancer is now stable but constantly being scanned as the reaccourance rate is very high.
Next came Atrial Fibrillation which will be a on going long term issue treated again with a procedure called a cardioversion. This will also be treated with long term medication like beata blockers.
She was then in 2019 due to on going health issues such as severe kidney infections and kidney stones diagnosed with Hypothyroidism aswell as Hyperparathyroidism leading to a surgery removing a partial amount of the thyroid and also then being put on medication for the long term.
For many years now she has been in pain such as muscle pain , headaches, sight loss and most recently and some days severe trouble swallowing. Due to these linked complications and complaints she was referred to a Neurological team in St Vincent's ,a hospital where along with the Matter hospital she is a VIP at this stage ! This appointment she had to go private as we all know the public waiting list is ridiculous with years of waiting especially for neuro. She seen a Neurological last week after scans and test who Diagnosed her with
MYASTHENIA GRAVIS a rare autoimmune disease where the immune system begins to attack itself after all muscles but especially targeting the eyes,facial expressions, swallowing,speaking and breathing.
The Neurological team need her to be admitted for at least 4 days and nights next week to do further numerous test to work out a treatment plan. This disease is not reversible or cure able so a plan will need to be put into place. We have contacted the accounts team in Vincent's then are working out cost and bills and it's not looking like it will be affordable for her and her family at the very least it will be €5,000 for the 4 days admission and she might also need blood transfusions while there too.
So yes that's alot of information sorry lol but
This women has never complained once ,never moaned just got on with it and held it all together for everyone else. So now she needs our help to get her the treatment so please if anyone can donate even a euro her family will really appreciate it so much!
Let's get her the treatment she needs and deserves ❤
